[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 115498, member: 527"] Most reloaders don't accurately record the number of times that they reload each case. If they did, and if they measured the area "just above" the belt, they would clearly see that their cases are not getting resized enough in this area to insure reliable chambering. Some shooters just might be lucky. I suppose that this can happen .... but it is very rare. If the brass hardness is incredibly perfect, and his particular chamber size is exactly the optimum dimensions, and the stars and the moon all line up just right, things might work out pretty well. However, sooner or you'll find that belted handloads will become impossible to chamber. All belted cases have this problem, and when they don't get properly resized - they will stick in your chamber. A very slight "bulge" forms just above the belt (at the pressure ring) that never gets fully reduced by using conventional resizing dies. I designed the Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die to solve this problem. If you never load your cases more that 2 times - you'll probably never even need to use it. After the second reloading .... well .... good luck. - Innovative [/QUOTE]
