[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 106693, member: 1290"] Bart, I've seen you post this stuff on the belted cases before. It is normal accepted practice and my personal experience that fire formed brass consistently presents the bullets centered in the bore and the case head in close proximity to the bolt face for consistent primer ignition. In bench rest they even cut chambers and necks undersized to tighten the fits up even more. This theory applies to all bottleneck cases. Now I have to ask, why is a belted case is not going to benefit from the same time proven methods? Please also explain how you get any case life at all if you keep pushing your belted cases back so far that they have to head space on the belt alone. In your last post you referenced people going to neck sizing and claiming improvements in accuracy. I fall in that group. I don’t even own a full length die for my 257Wby. With fired Lee Collet neck sized brass it shoots in the .2s”. With new brass it shoots ¾ to 1” with the exact same load. What do you think you could gain on this one with your method? [/QUOTE]
