[QUOTE="Vol1975, post: 1734905, member: 100380"] this last episode of case head failure I pre measured everything like I always do and measured several times throughout the process. I was adjusting or Playing with the die so that when I was bumping things back just enough so that it would close in the bolt fairly easy. When I was done the shoulders went back roughly .002 maybe 4 depending on the particular piece and the area right above the belt went back .003 ths. .513 to .510 ths. This measurement was checked on numerous cases. there was no other sighs of any problems with the case that I personal could see. im just chalking it up to case life end personally. Maybe a better brass I could get better life than federal but I think going forward at 4 firing I’m getting rid of the brass. Been reloading for a long time and the only time I’ve had this problem is when I’ve used FL resize on brass that was a little old. I just personally think with older brass and the way it pushes the brass back around the belt it causes a stress in older brass around this area. but this has been my experience. [/QUOTE]
