[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 814502, member: 5302"] I've cut a couple of 30 caliber belted magnum full length sizing dies off about 1/8" above the belt clearance groove and the same amount below the body-shoulder junction. After first using a standard full length sizing die on the belted cases setting the shoulder back a couple thousandths, I use this "body" die to resize the case body all the way back to the belt. That gets rid of the ridge that usually appears a few thousandths above the belt and sizes the body down to about new case diameter. Except for the case now headspacing on its shoulder, it's at virtual new case dimensions. Sub 3/4 MOA accuracy at worst 1000 yards down range providing all the other stuff in the rifle's good and put together right. [/QUOTE]
