With the gradual demise of the gun shops in this country it has become difficult to find anything out of the ordinary. For some years now I have been looking for a neck-sizing die for in 8x57 Mauser should anyone know of one for sale.
Thanks JohnE

Obviously it's also known as 7.92 Mauser.
I don't know about any other makes, but Lee do their collet neck sizing die in that calibre. CDSG have them for £39.

Thanks Triffid I might have to investigate these if I'm unable to find the traditional fare.

The Lee collet sizing die works very well for jacketed bullets or cast boolits. Most FL dies can be adjusted to neck size only.

That has only a full length size die, although you can neck size pretty well with a full length die.
As has been said the Lee collet is the way to go, remember to fettle it before use or crushed cases will be the result.

Just to concur, I use a Lee collet die set for my Mauser 8x57 reloading. Works very well for me.
