Looking for neck only dies .303 British

A Full length die is usually set up to hit the shell holder..
If you want to neck size a 303 case, back your FL die out so that it has about a tenth of an inch clearance from the shell holder, at the bottom of the stroke. This should avoid setting the shoulder back and doing much the case body.

The Lee Deluxe set is the best of both worlds - it has the collet die and the FL die, which is needed eventually when neck sized cases become too tight in the chamber. Personally, I go for the partial resizing route using the FL die. I size to my tightest chamber (P-14), allowing me to fire the same brass out of all my 303's.
Me too.
Try Higginsons in Hawksury, On. They often have the full line of Lee bits in stock.
Google Lee Precision, click on Lee Collet Dies in the left hand column, 303 British is in the third column, sixth line down. They are also shown on page 27 of their 2014 catalogue. Part number 90717. Got mine from Higginson a number of years ago, and they work great. The Google Lee Precision part was meant for Sunray. He seem to post a lot of erroneous information.

Thanks Ganderite. Just seen your post. Will google them for sure.
I got mine at Epps... if you ever make the trek to Orillia from Bolton..
You could get Rouge River Arms to order them.. they are close to you...
Like many people I mostly order from Higginson. They have lots of stock, possibly the lowest prices, and they ship very quickly.
