    Dillon550 and Lee collet die doesnt work, Need help finding a neck die that will work

    Hi Guys,
    I have a dillon 550 reloader. I wanted to try out a neck die only.So i seen a good price on a Lee Collet Die at Midway. Well, when I screw the die into the press I run out of threads just as I contact the shell plate so I have no adjustment.

    I am in a huge rush to get a neck die for 308 asap. I am really crunched for time.
    Can you guys recommend a neck only die for 308 that will work in a Dillon 550. I am located in Fremont, Ca. I dont care if its used,etc.if someone wants to sell one.
    Thanks
    Brian

    Try putting the retaining nut under the plate.

      KMCA,
      I owe you man. I took a peek under the plate. Sure enough. There was enough to get two full turns. Holy crap I was panicking. I am trying to prep for a long range shooting class next month in Sacramento and I only have access to a crono this weekend. I am now going to go drink a beer and reload tomorrow.
      Thanks again.
