[QUOTE="KineKilla, post: 1919622, member: 114563"] I read the whole story of how he came up with this idea and how it serves the purpose of resizing that little bit of the case wall that other dies miss. Seems like a good way to resolve an issue where your brass has expanded in that area to the point it will no longer fit in your chamber. Shoot them, FL size them until they won't fit and then use this collet to shrink the base so you can shoot them some more.... That's all good and well but it does not solve the issue of the case stretching towards the neck and thinning out in the area where case head separation takes place. In fact, this tool is supposed to be used after you have already full length sized the brass using a normal die set. I do not grasp how it will stop the brass from thinning out in this area above the belt. Feels like I am missing something simple...need to continue my research. I appreciate the discussion and I am reading every post and suggestion and taking them into account with the overall sizing process so I can learn to do this the right way every time. [/QUOTE]
