You do not have to resize after pulling bullets. Springback from pulling the bullets will be enough to hold the bullet and the amount of neck tension will depend upon how work hardened your brass is. More work hardened more springback, less work hardened like new or annealed less springback...
A Redding Body Die is an excellent companion die to the Lee Collet. It will size the case body and push the shoulder back without contacting the neck you have just sized with the Lee Collet.
I believe a lot the disagreement with reloaders about Full Length Resizing and Neck Sizing comes from...
The "case" volume has much less effect on the pressure than you are thinking. Brass is malleable (we move it around with hand tools and presses) and does little to retard the pressure building within it as the powder is ignited. Pressure does not peak until the brass is ironed to the chamber...
Do not use the Lee Collet because it is inexpensive and easy but for results. I have reloaded for over 40 rifles for dozens of years and in the beginning chased concentricity back into a reasonable amount.
Several things to consider:
When you fire a case it comes out of your rifle with...
RL17 should give more barrel life compared to H1000. Reference chart
RL17 is comparable to 4350
Faster powders give more barrel life, slower powders dwell time at the throat is longer, although measured in microseconds
The reason larger calibers have much longer barrel life is they generally...
I'm doing the same thing but have only gone through the charge weight ladder so far. My gun is a rebarrel with a 24" Pac-Nor 3 groove 1 in 8

My old eyes were having problems with the open sights so I got at $50 red dot (Browning) and installed on rifle

My grandkids were having difficulty cocking and loading the break barrel type of pellet gun I have so I ordered one of these

Not everyone agrees that it should be powder charge first then seating test

long read but worth it
That's the way I do it. I generally have a preconceived idea of what velocity I am hoping for and stop short of heavy bolt lift
Example of this 6.5 rem mag that I thought would be great to shoot the 130 gr SSII at 3200 fps. I started lower and worked up with 1 load at each powder charge...
That RW Hart is a good looking Arbor Press
I got a K&N which has a seating force dial on top. Guy's RW Hart looks more substantial but the K&N works
Working on trying to stabilize seating force displayed on the dial and it will show you if you have variations in ID or brass hardness that...
I had the same itch and scratched. Gave away my Redding Big Boss to a youngster wanting to start reloading.
The Coax is definitely a little different, additional expenses

Now why would you need to do that? Pull a bullet and reseat a new one without sizing cause you now have a perfect ID for seating due to springback. But you're right you could. Do the same with a bushing die.
For every caliber I reload for, my 4 favorite dies are the Lee Collet Neck Sizer...
