[QUOTE="orwapitihunter, post: 1079110, member: 1939"] Extremely excessive headspace will cause case head separations. After you remove the front half of the case, compare it to an unfired cartridge. Does it still have the long neck of a 222? Someone may have reamed the chamber to 223 and failed to mark it as such. If it still appears to be 222 then get a set of headspace gages and see if headspace is in tolerance. [/QUOTE]
