Hi Francis, will break these options down a bit:

1. Order a new cap for the Lee die (cap threads may be damaged but the die threads will be fine). Also order a spare mandrel while you are at it. Note that some importers or retailers stock these parts. Otherwise, order direct from Lee.

2. Redding neck bushing die. I do not know what size bushing you need as I do not know how much spring back you are getting. You will need to measure your current sized ammo if you have any sized ammo that is holding a projectile just so, then drop 2 thou from this (in conjunction with the Redding purchase instruction page). Hope that makes sense.

Yes, stick with neck sizing. If you have a generous chamber, you do not want to be overworking the entire case.
