[QUOTE="KineKilla, post: 1919510, member: 114563"] New brass measures 0.5090 above the belt. Measures 2.101 +/- to the datum line. 4x fired un-sized measures .5145 above the belt. Measures 2.1210 to the datum line. 1x Fired measures .5125. Measures 2.1185 to the datum line. So, it appears that my dies are not sizing all the way to the belt which is not surprising as I can clearly see a line where the die stops. It is sizing past the area where I am getting separation however. What would that expensive collet die do that my current FL dies does not? Obviously it will size all the way to the belt but will that just cause the separation to begin lower on the case? How does it prolong case life? Thanks for the help all, working to make this whole process better in the long run. [/QUOTE]
