[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 115292, member: 5302"] [ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ]Good point. I don't have that problem. I use a conventional full-length sizing die first then use my cut down version. I've had no brass moving nor diameter increasing on belted cases fired in minimum SAAMI chambers. Should a larger diameter chamber be used, then I can see how things could go sour. [/QUOTE]
