does anyone here know the effect of a LFC die on the life of brass for a bottleneck rifle case. i need to use it since im re-loading 30-30 for a tube mag, im just curious if it shortens case life by making it prone to splitting at the mouth.
Also has anyone heard of people having problems with the Lee collet neck sizer? there is a fellow on marlinowners who had the inner cap threads shear off completely. i think he may have had it screwed in too far but he insists he didn't.

I could see that being an issue if you are laying it on thick, but I haven't seen it personally.
I use them on all my autos, but keep it relatively light.
