John,

The CH4D die is in the $70 range. If one takes $.50 W/W .25-06 brass and makes $1.50 .240 Wby brass, it won't take but 70+ cases to clear the die. That's the plus.

The down side is the extra work and time needed to make it happen. The .240 case, evidently, has less taper than the .25-06 and the shoulders aren't fully formed by the sizing process. These cases will need to be fired to fully expand.

The new belt looks pretty good and with new brass, I don't see any problems with case wall or web area weakness as a result of the process.
