Have a #4 Longbranch sporter made to 303 epps and the rifle will now shoot one inch groups and brass lasts for over 10 reloads so far.....managed to get a second hand set of rcbs dies from the ellwood epps shop.......$95 used....160$ new....

That's good news. I forgot about dies. I might be able to get by with a neck-sizing die only (?) since all the brass will be used in one rifle only.

No idea where you'd get a neck sizing die specificaly for the Epps as I asked them about that route too after I found out the price......nada!!

I set up my .308 dies so I could do about 75 % of the neck and that l worked too until my "used" dies arrived.........
 
Probably not enough room for the body.

A 300 WSM would work nicely, but the neck would then be on the tight side. If too tight, you could outside neck turn your brass a bit to reduce the tension and the amount the neck is worked.
 
The regular Lee .303 British Collet Neck Size die should work with the Epps. That die body is so big, a .300 Win Mag could fit into it without the walls touching. It only sizes the neck, which on the Epps should be the same length and in the same place as the neck on the regular .303 British.
