Which is better using a neck resizing die or a full length resizing die for reloading?

I shoot a Thompson Center Encore, in a 300 win mag, 26" barrel. I reload my ammo to the Berger Bullets manual specifications, never hot loads. Can anyone tell me why after about 4 to 6 reloads the cases brakes off about a 1/4" above the belt. But in a Savage, in the same caliber after 5 to 7...

Yes a conical bullet, solid lead no copper.

I want thank all the response. Like I said, I live in Oregon and we can't use power belt bullets. We can only use conical bullets. I would like to use power belt bullets. From what I have read I am going to use triple 7 powder. Again thanks Deltaco

I live in Oregon. Muzzleloaders must be open ignition. I am using a CVA Elkhorn In-line 50 Cal. to hunt elk this season. I have heard about Blackhorn 209 powder. I'm looking for some load data. I'm also looking for a bullet, it also must be a conical bullet, I'm thing a 290gr to a 300gr...

Looking for a load data for my Thompson Center Encore .300 Winchester Magnum with Nosler 180gr bullistic tip. Thanks deltaco
