[QUOTE="Brent, post: 5585, member: 99"] The belt is used to headspace the cartridge off of... nothing more. More problems are created using a belted cartridge than are solved, if enough shoulder is left in its design to headspace off of that is. The case is actually thinner near the edge of the belt than on non belted case designs FWIW. There's now way to size the belt in a standard die. The collet die Larry Willis makes to size the belt area is your best bet if you use the belted cases smaller than the 416 Rigby. I go non-belted from now on, and belted helps none as far as blowing the case head off, too much FL sizing, excessive headspace or partially unsupported case web and high psi will though. You have to understand what causes it in the first place, then everything falls into place from there. [ 05-01-2003: Message edited by: Brent ] [/QUOTE]
