Or is that your reference to loose tolerance in the Lee meaning your are not affecting the shoulder.

The Lee die is machined off just above where the allowance for the belt was...and top is machined off as well so it cannot effect the shoulder...it is just a sleeve that runs down and gets rid of the bulge...works a treat.
I tried to do the same thing with a Redding body die but the cases are so enlarged it was to much work...the Lee dies just seem a a more generous capacity.
Bitch of a chamber and I have a new barrel to go on...still shoots like a laser beam mind.
