[QUOTE="338winmag, post: 616797, member: 29912"] Well here is my $.02 on your issue. First, you bought two of the best tools for reloading. Second, Larry owes me big time for marketing his 2 products all the time. :D I live by them. The Digital Headspace gauge is rocket science. Now here is where Larry will disagree with me. Maybe others will too. I use the Belted magnum collet die for 338 win mag and 7mm rem mag and 300 win mag. The first two after 2 firings can be up as high as .512, maybe even .513. I have used the collet die on these cases with these measurements way too often to say toss them. My 338 win mag is on 8th generation firings and 7mm rem mag has been up past 6 firings. The die takes them back to approximately .510 everytime. It could be a safety factor but even though I am super anal when it comes to safety, I have had no issues with resizing at the belt when fired sizes are over .511. P.S. I use Imperial resizing die wax for lubricant. I do not fire hot loads but my loads are at the fairly high end. Just a thought 338winmag [/QUOTE]
