[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2564960, member: 26077"] Morgaj1provides good advice. The other thing I will say is if you are shooting belted mags, you better neck size unless you want to be replacing brass every 3 or 4 firings. FL size, the brass has to go somewhere, it gets pushed towards the belt and lenghtens the case so you trim the neck. A few firings and you get the belt bulge. There is a die to address this but I prefer to avoid the problem all together. I have many belted mags where the cases have gone over 12 firings and never been FL sized. Same is true for 22 H, 25+ firings. I neck size all my loads, test fit all of the loaded ammo before taking it hunting. I test fit even factory ammo before hunting with it. The argument that BR shooters FL size is irrelevant to me; I hunt so the last .1 is of no interest and I care about not spending 10 bucks a pop for 338-378 brass every 3 or 4 shots. [/QUOTE]
