[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1933707, member: 75451"] Doubtful that you did any damage to the rifle. While the round appeared to have been a bit “hot”, from your description, I think your good to go! With only a few reloads on the brass, and then experiencing a case separation....you may have a bit more headspace than is desired. You may consider sizing your brass by merely “kissing” the shoulder.....to prevent excessive set-back of the shoulder. The case stretching to fill the chamber when fired, then setting the shoulder back (potentially a bunch) will bring about premature case failure....generally a separation just forward of the web! Take this for what it’s worth.....I’m not an expert on the subject! memtb [/QUOTE]
