[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 2044862, member: 78438"] It's hard to say for sure, but from what I've seen, when someone is having case head separation with belted mags and reloaded ammo, they are usually over sizing the brass. Over sizing any brass can cause early case head separation, but in the case of belted mags, this problem is much worse. JE explains this pretty well, though I would argue that they don't really have "excessive head space" as they are head spaced off the belt, this is just a terminology thing. They have excessive "slop" in the chamber. Belted mags can still be improperly head spaced. Excessive head space would imply that the reamer was run into the chamber to deep causing the head space off the belt to be incorrect. [/QUOTE]
