The bulge at he belt is caused by full length sizing, NOT by shooting the brass. Neck sizing I can easily get 20 rounds out of a case, and I have never had a case get too tight to chamber in any gun, belted or not, as the result of only neck sizing the brass.
The collet is of real value to people who full size their brass every time, like those who shoot levers or semi autos, and those who shoot 2 or three of the same belted mag and don't religiously keep their brass segregated by rifle.

Just curious, but have you experienced the same results using the Lee collet die or are you referring strictly to neck sizing dies like Redding or RCBS?
