[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2871956, member: 68015"] With belted cases, the area just in front of the belt isnt sized. Eventually, this area will not allow the round to chamber because it continues to expand. This is the same situation as neck sizing only. Eventually the case near the head expands to the point that a FL sizing die is needed. There is a gentleman who makes a die that sizes this area on belted cases. I cant recall his name but I'm sure some here know who I'm talking about and will help me out here. This is why I stopped using belted cases over 40 yrs ago. The area where the sharp edge is may be caused by the way the die is cut, not being rounded enough at the mouth. What lube are you using btw? [/QUOTE]
