[QUOTE="R100RS, post: 1835488, member: 104709"] Hi, I too have a 300 WBY have been loading for it for 35 yrs. For most of it I have just been neck sizing (Hornady 30 cal neck die) and never had a problem. In the last few years I have been reading more and more. My most recent purchase was a belted mag collet die (Larry Willis) Turns out you can not use it with a Projector due to shell plates so I m looking for a cheap single stage. However the collet die can be used to see if the case is bulged just in front of the belt. If I neck size only the case bulges a little (can still easily chamber rounds) So as an experiment I tried using the full length sizer to compress the case just above the belt (had the die turned out a turn or so since I did not want to push the shoulder back) Turns out by doing this my brass would not fit in the chamber. Since I have the Hornady comparator gauge I went looking for the reason. Turns out that when I was compressing the body of the brass the length of the brass base to shoulder was growing to the point where it would not chamber. Once I turned the die back into it normal spot the shoulder got pushed back into it normal length and the brass would once again easily fit into the chamber. I would never have been able to figure this out without the comparator set and a dummy case. My advice is to wait till you get your comparator set. Also I would consider getting a 30 cal neck die. I have easily shot my brass more than 10-15x's (I don't use max node) Good luck [/QUOTE]
