    Cowboy it will look like the die is sizing up to the belt however due to the spring back in the brass over time your die will not be able to size it back enough.

    Unlike non-belted cases, the belt prevents conventional full length dies from traveling far enough down the case. This limits the amount of resizing, and brass is plowed rearward. The brass builds up just above the belt at each reloading, and cases expand. Neck sizing dies don't bump the shoulder back or resize the tapered case wall. The best solution is to full length resize accurately, and use this collet die to reduce case width.

    While you are having no problem go with it. That was me for 10 yrs then with the new barrel and tighter chamber all of a sudden closing the bolt became stiff.
