Years ago I purchased a Lee 3 piece die set for 30 Luger. I tried and tried to get the results that I wanted/needed, but could not. The sizing die(inside)looked like it had been finished with a rattail file!!Maybe I just got a bad one that slipped by QC, I don't know. It would not correctly size the neck to correct ID/OD size for reloading. Also, the expander was too large for loading .308in bullets. Anyway, Two of the three dies went into the "round" filing drawer, and I kept the seater die. I use an RCBS sizing die with a correct size expander. I load on a Dillon 650, and reduced the powder through/expander by .001-.0015in. for good neck tension.
