Yes I do realize that. I just thought maybe the cases that were 1.8155after sizing the neck, maybe it could gain.0005 ? Also I do anneal my brass every time I reload with my bench source.One other quick comment. You do realize that the Lee neck collet die is not supposed to have any affect on the base to datum measurement. This die should size only the neck, so if you length changed by resizing in the neck collet die, there is something else going on.
