[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2112676, member: 29241"] Maybe not your problem, but measure the size of your chamber just ahead of the belt. Using a pin guage will show how much bigger diameter the back of the chamber is compared to diameter of an unfi[I]r[/I]ed case. I have several rifles with belted cartridges and have chambered many barrels in belted mag cartridges. If the chamber is big at the mouth or back, then it is a chambering issue (bad chamber). It is harder to resize a belted case in such a chamber because the belt becomes big also. I have cracked two expensive dies trying to size swelled case and belt. If there were dies available I would turn the belts off in the lathe. Belted cartridges are ok but make sure of the chamber. [/QUOTE]
