How to ID Lee collet dies...

[troutseeker]

Arghhhh!!! I mixed up my Lee dies in 6.5X55 and now I can't tell wich is the full length sizer and which is the collet... One is marked C4 and the other K5. anyone can help?

Thanks, Troutseeker

The full length resizer has the primer removing pin in it. The collet die should have a knurled cap on the top. Read the instructions or get them from LEE www.leeprecision.com

The collet die will have a sleeve that moves, the FL die will be a solid die.

my collet die has a large knurled top that is solid on top. The FL sizer has a smaller top with a hole for the decapping pin to slide up.

FWIW, both of my dies have decapping pins...

Both have a sleeve that moves and both have decapping pins... I guess I could measure the width of the decapping pin?

My collet die has a some-what loose decapping pin and a knurled screw top.
The FL sizer die has the pin anchored in firmly, you can see the top of the pin and it'll require wrenches to take apart.

Screw it, here's a pic.
