[QUOTE="KineKilla, post: 1919392, member: 114563"] Yes, all of the new unfired brass is 2.101 which appears to be .008 UNDER maximum SAAMI specs for this cartridge if I'm reading their spec sheet correctly. That would mean that from unfired to once fired, the brass is lengthening by .0175. Seems excessive to me as well but I've measured and remeasured and that's what I'm getting from it. I have also experienced case head separation after only a few firings in one of my Model 700 270WIN rifles. So, obviously I cannot blame everything on the brass nor the rifle and somewhere it is my reloading process that is contributing to the issue. I have always set my dies up as directed in the manual that came with the dies. [/QUOTE]
