[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1601728, member: 28965"] You need to get a Hornady cartridge case headspace gauge and measure a "GOOD" case fired in your rifle. Meaning a case that has the shoulder blown out and a snug fit in your chamber and get a good headspace reading off the cases. Now put a .020 feeler gauge between the base of the die and the shell holder and adjust down until you contact the feeler gauge. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/7FfXhJ7.jpg[/IMG] Now full length resize the case and see if squeezing the case diameter will move the shoulder forward. Raising the die off the shell holder and sizing the case should make the case longer in headspace than the chamber. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wm05ArY.gif[/IMG] Any time you have case head separations, it means you have far too much head clearance. And this allows the case to stretch excessively causing the case separation. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HK76WCp.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
