[QUOTE="Dirtrax, post: 2765615, member: 78945"] Belted magnums are reloaded exactly as any other case. Excessive headspace is the reason for failures. There are no tricks or special sauce required. Don’t bump the shoulder for 2-3 firings measuring the datum each time and watch it grow just like a non-belted case. If fl sizing screw the die in fairly short of touching the shoulder as indicated by measurements until you get .002-.004” shoulder bump just like any other case. Now lock the die and you’re done. If light loads are used neck sizing will go far, but if you’re pushing it hard fl sizing will be your friend. I get 12-15 firings and I push my magnums. I don’t lose many at that point but it’s never from case head separation. [/QUOTE]
