[QUOTE="KineKilla, post: 1919644, member: 114563"] thank again rsmithsr that makes a bit more sense. For someone like me that has observed a once fired case flow from the fired size of 2.1185 up to as much as 2.124 during the sizing process before being bumped back to the chosen size of say 2.1165 (.002" bump back for example only, but also most often the suggested bump back amount) and is not having issues with the case being tight in the chamber but is experiencing case head separation after only a few firings....what would you suggest I do differently? I have two pieces of once fired brass that I resized to larger than they were after firing (went from 2.1185 to 2.120) that show a faint line where the case is thinning and wanting to separate. I plan to cut them in half to confirm what I am seeing but if I can't even resize a piece of brass one time something is not right. And I know I've mentioned it before but this is not the first time I have reloaded for this rifle. I just pulled at least 50 pieces of brass that have been shot in this rifle with this exact load out of my scrap pile. They have all been shot a maximum of 4 times (I assume because that is my self imposed maximum reloading cut off) and although I have not sized them after that 4th shot, they do not show any signs of thinning yet. Chase the tail..... I had a local gun builder check my chamber with their gauges and it will not close on the No-Go gauge but will on the Go gauge. At least I know my chamber is within spec, even if it's at the maximum for tolerances. [/QUOTE]
