Lee Collet Die issue: neither the 1905 nor the 1910 liked the lee collet die. With the 1910 it seemed to work fine but the action of squeezing down the neck pushed the shoulder out just enough that it is too tight a fit in the chamber. Issue seems to be that the body of the chamber is pretty tight.
And the stretched necks of the 1905 definitely didn't work with the collet die. I am resorting to annealing and full length sizing. I attached pics of what happens with 1905 fired brass and the lee collet die.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Never mind the collet dies, a waste of time. A "Factory crimp isn't needed, your ammo isn't going to the battlefield. Just carried gingerly out to the range.

Actually, when used properly, they are an incredible time saver. No lubing of cases which then need another cleaning, and no case stretch, saving a trim and chamfer.
