[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 115750, member: 1290"] Looks like we were typing at the same time. Thanks for the reply. [ QUOTE ] ALSO, unlike factory ammo - your belted magnum handloads should ALWAYS headspace on the shoulder (not the belt). This prevents brass stretching that leads to case head separations. [/ QUOTE ] I have been saying this for years but there is one poster here that just can't seem to get a handle on this. According to your postion in the quotes we are on the same page as how a case should fit in a chamber. There is no double standard as both have tapered shoulders to headspace on. Only a straight walled rimmed case would headspace on the rim. I still like neck sizing only and have grown very accustomed to a little resistance to closing the bolt on my best brass. What I think would be good is some kind of die that would press the case heads down a pinch to tighten up primers pockets on belted and non-belted cases alike. [/QUOTE]
