[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1381334, member: 77249"] I agree with JE Custom on first shot, The case fire forms to the chamber, Then neck size only for longer case life. I got my first Belted Mag. in 1966 a 264 WM. NS Die only, Long range ground hog rifle. Later 7mm Rem Mag and 338 WM. I had a 3 piece die set for the 7mm RM, (Full Length, Neck size and seating die). Dies went with gun when sold. I have a 3 piece set for my 338 WM I bought it in 1994. (Full Length, Neck size and Seating Die). The only time I use the FL Die is when prepping new cases, I like to use FL sized new cases for hunting loads. My brother has a 338 WM too, We check our loads in both guns so if something happens on a trip we can trade shells. No case separation trouble as of today. Belted magnum cases are designed to head space on the belt not on the shoulder. Once the case shoulder is fire formed to the chamber. Neck size or bushing size the case for longer case life. [/QUOTE]
