Who would I email for Lee dies? A quick google search has me thinking a mob called Grycol International import them?

Problem is now......I was trying to order from Lee Precision direct last week and......I have it on good authority that the US companies have put restrictions on shops like Cabelas. They wont allow shipping outside the USA of a lot of their products which are available retail in AUS.

The die has marked the necks from new but I didn't really know any better until I started loading 308 and noticed only the 223 FL sizer does it.

the line around the base of the neck is where the neck die is resizing to, nothing wrong with it
