[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 689495, member: 5302"] The US military shops for all four services reloading their 30 caliber magnum cases for competition tried conventional full length sizing dies on their fired cases back in the early 1960's, but gave up. The USMC, USAF and USN shops knew about body dies that sized fired belted case bodies all the way to the belt used either before or after a standard full length die with its neck lapped out was used to get the shoulder and neck right. They didn't want to go through the extra steps with the body die. New cases handloaded with good components shot just as accurate for them so they just did that and left the empty belted brass on the firing line for civilians to pick up. In fact, I think was an ex USAF team member in company with Sierra Bullets' tech that came up with the idea around 1962. Don't know about the US Army shops but surely they knew about it that early, too. [/QUOTE]
