[QUOTE="kraky, post: 221917, member: 180"] You do know that NO belted sizing die is designed to go all the way down to the belt right? Die manufacturers feel that if they made the die go all the way to the belt sooner or later someone would manage to push the belt back when sizing and ruin headspace....so they all leave a tad of room over the belt. Belted mag chambers are all over the place with headspace issues and most belted mag brass is made brand new quite undersized. I would highly recomend that if you don't want to buy new brass that you get one of the belted mag collet dies which will bring all your brass back to factory spec right down to the belt. Then you can decide if you have a headspace issue with not getting the shoulder knocked back far enough. I know this because I load for a friend and myself many different wby calibers. His guns are custom but have loose chambers and we have to use that belted mag collet die quite often especially when swapping from gun to gun. It's an expensive die at about $100 but the first night I used it I made the money back....besides....I made my buddy buy the die.....smart??? [/QUOTE]
