[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1632517, member: 7539"] This makes sense, but if the shoulder was set [I]too awfully[/I] far back, I'd really expect brass failure near the belt before the neck. I've never reloaded any belted magnums, but given that they headspace on the belt, if you're full length sizing and then blowing it back out every time, then you're going to experience much greater brass working and fatigue than you would compared to cases that headspace on the shoulder and don't experience nearly as much expansion. This is ESPECIALLY true if you're setting back the shoulder too far. I'd be neck sizing only. It should give you upwards of double or perhaps triple the loadings and it will also save on some trimming as well. Anneal if you want, but I'd spend money on a collet die immediately. [/QUOTE]
