[QUOTE="Brent, post: 5588, member: 99"] Very interesting and edjucating, thanks Cat. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I have never had too much of a problem with belted cases but, I have noticed them get too tight after 5-7 loads and have no way to size the belt and just ahead of the belt down. I keep pretty good records on diameter in these areas and reduce loads enough to keep expansion "very" minimal there. One hot load shot a time or two is enough to create problems you can take care of with a non-belted but can't with a belted. My 416wby brass is pretty **** expensive, and 400gr A-Frames are good belt expanding offenders at the same pressure and velocity as the 400gr XLC on the Oehler 43 that doesn't do this at all... Could be the coating, but it was almost exactly the same with the non-coated X bullet too. Pressure comes with 3-4 grains less powder in the A-Frame too, don't ask me why but, 111gr RL22 equals the 115gr X or XLC pressure and MV but give consistant increases in belt expansion after the initial forming, with the X bullets it is almost nothing, a few tenths is all. Just my experience. [/QUOTE]
