Resolved. Thanks all and @ronco for the side msg.
I ended up buying a set of Hornady dies so that I could take out the decapper pin and then resize. I was never going to get this resolved with
either Lee's full length resizer die or the collet resizer because of that decapper. With the Lee collet die and it's neck pin I could get the case good enough for my Ruger #1 but not for my Browning Xbolt.
I won't be buying anymore Lee dies for rifle.
I learned my lesson on necks and dies.

How is the collet die not working in regards to your X-Bolt?
I'm not sure I understand the issue here. There is nothing wrong with using the Lee rifle dies, with the expander/decapper rod left in place. The original problem is that the brass was sized without using an expander ball. You were sizing the outside of the neck, but not the inside of the neck. So what is preventing you from using the Lee dies with the expander installed?
