[QUOTE="Broz, post: 800688, member: 7503"] I just measured 4 fired cases tight right above the belt from my 300 win. I did this with just a set of calipers. Mine measure .511" to .5115" My sized loaded rounds are maybe .0005" under this. I use a Redding body die and stepped shell holders. I only bump shoulders back .001 to .0015" Necks are sized in a Redding competition bushing neck die for a .002" of neck tension. I anneal every time and no expander is used at all. If you have seen enough of them you can see when a 700 ejector clip is worn. But I usually just have a m-16 extractor installed when they need to be replaced. I went years with zero problems with the factory extractor. The in one year I had to fail. They would leave a fired case in the chamber and tapping it out was easy so I knew it was the ejector not holding properly. On both of these rifles it was a once in a while problem. I wrote that off to the inconsistency in the actual case rims where the ejector grabs them. I used a Lee collet die on one rifle. I didn't care for the lines this die left on the necks. So I have stayed away from them. Other higher quality collet dies could be different. That I can't say as I have no experience with them. I have found Redding comp. bushing dies to my liking and with them I plan to stay. Jeff [/QUOTE]
