[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1956015, member: 12282"] My only question to add would be: Are you SURE the brass he gave you is really once shot? Belted mag cases don't really resize well, all the way to the belt, and so they tend to display the event you describe (brass shavings) when they get too swollen. There is a special die that someone makes to fix this, and I have one, but the name escapes me.... Anyhow, it *could* be that your gun is fine, but the brass you were given has been fired a bunch more than the prior owner admitted to. FL resizing belted magnum cases will result in brass stretch in most guns and case head separation eventually too. There's a reason for the love affair with all the non-belted magnums these days. I have yet to play with the collett resizing die that allows full body resizing of a belted case. [/QUOTE]
