Thread: Fixing bulge in front of the belt on my rem mag brass.

Hi guys...my Rem mag has a loose tolerance chamber and I imagine that's why I get a bulge in front of the belts after a few firings.
That makes the brass hard to chamber and normal dies wont fix the problem, this isn't a common problem but its a real bitch when a rifle does this.
I had the Larry Willis collet die which is designed to fix this but it didn't like my oversize brass.

Ended up machining both ends off a Lee full length die and run that down to the belt after resizing and that fixes the issue.
The top end is removed so it doesn't neck size and the bottom is a nice sharp edge just above where the recess for the belt was.




All the best...Chris

I can't believe it has been over 10 minutes and no-one has given you any grief about this thread title.

I'm sure there will be many suggestions from forum members for fixing the bulge in front of one's belt.
