Lee Precision .222 Remington Collet Neck Sizing Die Only
$22.49
The Lee Precision .222 Remington collet neck sizing die offers a different approach to precision reloading. Instead of traditional sizing methods, a collet system squeezes the case neck against a precision mandrel, delivering consistent neck fit with minimal run-out. This means your ammunition starts its life at the chamber with better concentricity—an advantage that compounds across shot strings, especially if you're chasing tight groups at distance or working up precision loads for benchrest and target shooting.
One practical benefit stands out for handloaders watching their budget: you don't need case lube when using a collet die. That's less prep work and less cleanup. Beyond convenience, the collet sizing method is gentler on brass. Because cases experience less stress during the sizing stroke, they maintain their integrity through significantly more reload cycles than cases sized with conventional dies. For someone running 35 or more rounds per load development session, the lifespan gains alone can offset the investment in a collet die setup.
This is a neck sizing die only, so it's designed for shooters who have their full-length or other primary sizing handled elsewhere in their process, or who reload for a single rifle and prefer neck-only sizing to extend brass life further. It's compatible with standard reloading presses that accept .222 Remington dies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work in a standard reloading press?
Yes, this die is compatible with standard single-stage and progressive presses that accept .222 Remington reloading dies.
What's the difference between this neck sizing die and a full-length sizing die?
This is a neck sizing die only, meaning it sizes only the neck of the case. It's designed for shooters who prefer neck-only sizing to extend brass life, or who handle full-length sizing separately in their reloading routine.
Do I need case lube with this die?
No, the collet sizing system doesn't require case lube, which simplifies your reloading prep and cleanup.
How much longer do cases last with this collet die?
Lee reports that cases sized with collet dies last approximately ten times longer than cases sized with conventional dies, thanks to reduced stress on the brass during the sizing stroke.
