[QUOTE="odoylerules, post: 1423598, member: 99160"] Anyone that would be mad at somebody that would buy this die doesn’t understand its purpose in my opinion. If you 100% FL size a case every time you probably wouldn’t need this die. I always FL size new brass to ensure uniformity to start with. In my 300 WinMag with a SAAMI chamber starting from virgin brass, after a single firing my headspace grew .021 inch. That means if I wanted to full length size to ensure the ENTIRE case body got sized (including just above the belt) I would be bumping my shoulder back .021”. That’s way too much in my opinion, and even with annealing I don’t think I would have gotten very many firings on a piece of brass. The Larry Willis die allowed me to size the case body just above the belt and then in a separate operation control my headspace with a .002-.003 headspace “bump”. [/QUOTE]
