[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 663260, member: 17844"] It sounds like your chambers are a bit long if the fired brass is .017 longer than new brass . This is not such an issue with a belted case as the headspace is set by the belt untill the case is a real jam fit and then it might set on the shoulder . Even if there is .017 Approx. extra room at the shoulder the case just blows forward about .011 and back about .006 . So it is not an excessive back stretch as it would be with a non belted case . My advice is dump the gauge and just size the case to just rechamber paying attention to the fact that sometimes belted cases can get tight just right infront of the belt and a special collet die may be required to size that part down .
