[QUOTE="Broz, post: 866657, member: 7503"] The body die just allows me to work on the case and neck in different steps. I feel this keeps run out to a minimum. I prefer doing the sizing in two steps. So the redding body die will not offer you more sizing unless you have a die that has an issue. I have seen that before too. Redding offers a set of stepped shell holders that have the floor in .002" steps in height. This allows control on how much you size the brass and how much you push the shoulder back by controlling the amount you push the brass into the die. I size belted cases with this method all the time. One of my favorite long range rifles is a 300 win. If you have access to a belt sander and a dial or digital calipers you would be surprised how easy taking a few thousands off the die really is. Just keep it level and measure often. Jeff [/QUOTE]
