[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 115243, member: 527"] Delta Hunter, The top of our Belted Magnum Collet resizing Die is used as a case width gauge. If your cases will fit in all the way to the belt - you don't need to use it. However, if you have reloaded your cases twice or more they definitely won't fit in the gauge on our die. Then you do need to use our collet die. This gauge also confirms that you're cases will chamber properly. Measure your cases above the belt, and you'll see what I mean. If you don't use our Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die . . . . sooner or later you'll find that your belted cases will stick in your chamber. I tried a several prototype dies and found that the collet design is far superior to any type of "cut down" version. That method just pushes the brass to the rear - causing it to bunch up and increase the diameter anyway. It would have been nice if it was that simple. Remember, top accuracy requires a "consistently" perfect fit in your chamber, and it's not good to close your bolt with a mallet. - Innovative [/QUOTE]
