Lee Precision Decap Mandrel .241" – 243 Winchester
The Lee Precision Decap Mandrel is the decapping spindle for Lee collet resizing dies: it is the component against which the collet fingers squeeze the case neck, while also carrying the pin that ejects the spent primer. This .241" version is the one specified by Lee for 243 Winchester, 243 Winchester Ackley Improved, 6mm Creedmoor, and 6mm (.244) Remington, and should be replaced when the pin becomes bent or the mandrel shows signs of wear.
In the collet die, the neck is not compressed by an outer ring and then expanded by an expander ball, as in full-length dies: four fingers squeeze it directly against the mandrel, meaning the mandrel diameter determines the final inner dimension of the neck. For this reason, Lee manufactures the mandrels .002" to .003" under the nominal bullet diameter: with a brass spring-back of .001"–.002", the finished neck remains about .001" under bullet diameter, providing the correct tension to hold it. Lee describes this system as capable of producing a precisely aligned neck, reducing runout.
