[QUOTE="Dan Carey, post: 1924629, member: 5303"] The die manufacturers don't want the web inside the die. The web is solid and as such it will not "resize" well. I did some work on 204 brass not holding a primer because of extreme pressure. I made a die to size down the web area which also shrink the diameter of the primer pocket. The problem I ran into was the amount of force needed to size the web exceeded the capacity of the rim to extract it from the die. I worked this out by not using a shell holder just a case driver and a steel rod to knock the case out of the die. [/QUOTE]
