[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1439466, member: 90080"] To my eyes, it looks like the current die is shaving the brass and dumping it near the belt. If the brass was fired in a loose chamber, with higher pressures, that area would be a very tight fit for the die to size. I would suggest using the collet die first and then bump and resize the case. I think Larry recommends FL resize first and collet second, but I once had a very loose factory chamber that required using his collet first. I doubt that it's the Norma brass causing that. Or the die could be under spec. You'll need to measure case diameter above the belt on unfired brass and same place on your fired brass to get an idea of how much expansion you're getting. Hope you figure it out. [/QUOTE]
