[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1919950, member: 2736"] The statement about setting up dies is a well debated subject, and the simple answer is to size the cases to best fit the chamber. The belted case problem you have is the same everyone has, Over sizing. Belted cases have under sized case body's and when fired they expand a lot depending on the chamber. After the first firing, the dies should readjusted to only sizes enough to fit the chamber. At this stage they will head space on the shoulder and minimize case stretch. (The reason for the case head separation). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
