[QUOTE="dstancu, post: 2872517, member: 9273"] I only FL resize all my 300 Win Mag brass (I use Peterson and Hornady cases, each for a different rifle), and I see no sign of fatigue on my 300 Win Mag cases after many reloads. In other words, I have no problems at all - I only move the shoulder 0.002 in from the fired size. I anneal the cases every single cycle (salt bath annealing), and I also check for case's collet area bulging, which only seems to appear at Hornady brass. I use the [B]Larry Willis Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die[/B] to ensure the lower (and thicker) part of the case is kept in check, and it works like a dream if you follow the easy instructions ([URL]https://larrywillis.com/[/URL]). Both rifles are consistently under .5 MOA (most of the time under 0.3MOA) at 100m, I use EC tuners on both. I use Hornady ELDX 212gr, Berger VLDH 210gr, and also Berger 245 EOL bullets, H1000 powder, scientific scale, F215M primers, IBI barrels with 1:9 twist rate, MDT chassis. That Larry Willis die was one of the best investments for me for handloading (in the case of the belted cases), along with the FX powder trickler, the Henderson Precision case trimmer, SAC comparators, 21st Century expanding mandrels, Redding 7 turret press, Forster dies, and the salt bath annealer.
