[QUOTE="woods, post: 550179, member: 6042"] Mada Some chambers are larger than others. The factories buy reamers that are as large as possible but still within SAAMI standards so that they can use them the maximum number of times before they get too small and wear out (at least that's what I've been told). The bulge above the case head is common and is where the solid case head ends and the open case body begins [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/splitcase2.jpg[/IMG] The only rifle I have that has a demonstrable bulge is my Steyr 30-06 [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN1580.jpg[/IMG] the bulge is not exclusive to belted cases and the belt really has no bearing on whether it will have a bulge or not. Lube is the answer. Your press and dies were MADE to solve this problem. There are several rifles out of the 40+ I reload for that have cases that are harder to resize than others. One in particular is a Remington 300 win mag of a friend which is a major effort and crunch time when it comes time to resize. Also have one rifle where the chamber is so small that the resizing die will not resize the case body at all even when fully inserted. There are a lot of variable in the chamber size and interior of die dimensions that will determine how much effort resizing takes. Lube it and do it! Nuff said! You will have to lube the hell out of the case before you could get it into a die with the Innovative Collet also, so that will not change things. [/QUOTE]
