Now herein lies a problem with sticking with original Winchester case head dimensions. The Lee dies that most people seem to be using are not made for a case head this big in diameter. I was resizing 50-90 cases with a head diameter of 0.563" and split a Lee full length resizing die. When sent back to Lee explaining the problem (they replaced the die at no charge) they came back with the following information.
To paraphrase Lee's answer, their dies are made with a base diameter of 0.552" - 0.555" @ 0.100" deep. They say that they designed the die base based on dimensions supplied to them by Jamison.
Now, I don't know from what source other die manufacturers are sizing their dies from, but before we start advising Starline on what their case dimensions should be, someone with other manufactures die sets besides Lee needs to take some measurements on the die base inside diameters and see what we should suggesting.
Present die sets run anywhere from around $35.00 to $250.00. I for one do not want to spend $250.00 for a set of dies when perfectly good dies can be had at a much lower price.
Something to think about before we go making recommendations that may end up being a problem.
