I take it I'd need .223 and 5.56mm if I shoot both neck sizes?
Has the shotgun one gone out of production now?
Seen it in the States for $38 so I'm assuming they'll be £38 + UK swindle tax? Anyone know of the best source here?
Manual re-heading?

Re: Manual re-heading?
Henry Krank sells them £25 a set plus £4 postage. You should only need the .223 set as they neck size only.
Re: Manual re-heading?
I seem to remember they were full length size only, you could probably machine the FLS to suit however being Lee they are going to be harder than hard things so a normal cutter will not touch it.
It can be done though.

No probs, I'll just stick with .308 / .223 cases. 
Thanks all. [reaches for wallet]...

The Lee loaders as demonstrated in the youtube clip NECK SIZE only they will not full length resize.I seem to remember they were full length size only, you could probably machine the FLS to suit however being Lee they are going to be harder than hard things so a normal cutter will not touch it.

If you are reloading .223 you need the .223 set.
If you are reloading .308 you will need a separate set in .308.
I have just watched the youtube clip NEVER I REPEAT NEVER re load with out checking your charges on a scale a scale is a must have tool. Do not buy one of these Lee loaders and rely on the scoop that comes with it to give you the correct powder charge. Be careful what you are doing my friend I would hate for it to go horribly wrong for you.
If you are not a experienced re loader I would be wary buying these dies you need to learn the basics before you rush out and start buying kit.
Going straight to neck sizing with out any experience is not all ways a good thing.
Before you buy any thing get your self a good beam scale.

Re: Manual re-heading?
I've also bought the requisite case trimmers/guages for those calibres and a beam scale too. Thanks for your concern but don't worry, I won't be reloading for months yet ~ still reading ABCs and Lyman's 49th! tesnews
