[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1318909, member: 90080"] One thing I would point out is that belted magnums, especially with hotter loads, tend to swell right above the belt. This is most often seen in looser factory chambers. Most FL dies have a hard time sizing this area to allow chambering. Larry Willis invented the collet die to size this area and he's sold a bunch of them. I come down on the side of proper FL sizing vs neck sizing, particularly in a factory chambered belted Magnum. Some really knowledgeable people say neck sizing will get it done, as that is their experience. I say, over time, you're better off FL, or a body die, for reliable chambering. Just my 2 cents.
