[QUOTE="redneckdan, post: 1786676, member: 8932"] One firing with excessive head space wont usually seperate a case. Repeating that habit will. All depends how the tolerances stack. Anecdotally speaking, pre '00 I saw more than a few cases in range brass barrels with incipient or fully separated case heads. All sorts of calibers, belted, flanged and rebated, magnum or otherwise. Reloading internet forums were not yet well developed and a lot of reloading information was gleaned from a few sources such as manuals. Wide spread peer to peer sharing of information was stymied by the lack of platforms. Fast forward to the modern era and with a short google search anyone can find more than they ever cared to read about headspace, fire forming and bumping shoulders. Nowadays I rarely find seperated or incipient case heads in brass buckets. At the range I go to there is one younger guy with a 300 win mag that full length resizes to cam over and gets separations in 3-4 firings. An older gentleman with a 308 buys really nice peterson brass, also cams over and tips the bottle way too hard. He gets separations in 2-3 firings. Other than those two, I havent found an overly stretched case in many years. [/QUOTE]
