[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1633074, member: 7539"] Roger that. Shoulder should fully engage the chamber as in non-belted cartridges. Get a collet die for neck sizing only or I suppose you could just unscrew your full length die a couple thou at a time until you get your shoulder to fit better My understanding of the original purpose of the belt though was due to early cartridges that had sloping shoulders that didn't allow for precise headspacing off of them. The idea had nothing to do with extraction, if anything, it had more to do with the fact that the purpose of the longer sloping shoulders was to aid in [U]feeding[/U]. Imagine a big game hunter finger fobbling his H&H rounds while reloading his double rifle in a hurry or having a magazine feeding issue when you're going for the second or third shot on the charging elephant or rhino.
