[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2807930, member: 115658"] I have been handloading for more than 3 decades and 11 months and only had head separations when I created excessive headspace by excessive F/L sizing - this includes super premium & expensive brass. This includes belted cases that have large variations in "belt height" - like measure the belts then ignore the useless belts - headspace on shoulder. I use a cheap feeler gauge to set die height on shell holder & headspace on shoulder. Every rifle chamber has variations & headspace accordingly or "They always separate at the exact same place." Should a separation occur on some exciting occasion carry a stiff bronze brush of a larger caliber to snag the busted off front half of the brass from the chamber. [/QUOTE]
