[QUOTE="Bug, post: 124519, member: 2185"] Fwiw, The idea, as you presented it, would be very simple to accomplish. One could simply cut .250" off the bottom of the sizing & seater dies. After resizing, trim the extra-long case neck back to original length. It will most likely require turning case necks - they'll be too thick. Then make up a dummy round. Have your 'smith chamber your rifle using your dummy round as a "Go" headspace guage. Should he go a smidge too deep, you can always back off on the die. You will probably have to do a little work on the feed rails, as the UM case is considerably wider. It won't be any sort of a big chore,though. If it's really what you want, then go for it. You'll likely have the only one around. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
