[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 459287, member: 9172"] I do all of my die setup just like you. Make sure that as you are checking your brass in your gun.......be sure to size a differant piece of brass each time you make an adjustment.....just put the long ones in a pile to do again later. Make sure that most or all of the lube is off of the case before you chamber the brass.....a buildup of lube in your chamber will skue your test....and will be downright dangerous if shot without being cleaned. Also, for better feel I remove the firing pin. Just forget that the brass has a belt and you will be just fine. A belt has zero effect on accuracy. On the other end of the spectrum......belted casses are actually SAFER to handload than non-belted....Take the newbi....doesn't have a clue....turns the FL die all the way down to the shell holder. He may have just bumped the sholder 20 thou.....that may be trouble with a non-belted case, but not with a belted case....you always have the belt there to headspace on. [/QUOTE]
