Thru no fault of it's own I find myself needing a new die. I use Lee dies and never had a problem (until now). I do not find a listing for just the FL die so what would ya'll recommend. I load for 2 AR's and I use a neck die for my bolt action.

What happened to the old one? I'm sure lee would help you out if you contacted them, probably offer to replce it if something happened too it and if you just need another they could probably sell you just the one item.

Redding, RCBS, and Hornady are what I have. Hornady makes excellent dies, at a great price. Their lock rings are so great that I replaced every lock ring I have with Hornady rings, which are available in packages of 6 rings.

If you want Lee stuff, try FSReloading.com.

I recommend the collet die for neck sizing.

If it was me I'd buy a small base die for the AR's and I'd buy a regular FL die for the bolt. Good luck.
