Is this my FL die or is it really headspace separation?

[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 527075, member: 8358"] I have never used a Stoney Point guage, but I guess you mean the case length is growing .007" after one firing. If this is the case, you don't need to get upset because some cartridges just get brass flow in this manner. Yes, the brass will eventually thin out just in front of the webb but unless you want to shoot very reduced loads it is just the nature of the beast (so to speak). Some calibers that I think will be hard on brass doesn't seem to suffer at all and others that I think will be real easy on brass will need trimmed after every firing and will have to be replaced more often. In my thinking, if I can't get 6 loadings out of a piece of brass before having to throw it in the junk bin I am loading too hot or it is being over-worked because of an out of spec chamber. If you are only setting the shoulder back .001" during FL sizing you don't have a too long chamber at all. BTW, what cartridge is this in the picture? It looks like a 6mmBR, but I am usually not too good of guesser:) [/QUOTE]
