[QUOTE="EddieHarren, post: 152513, member: 5138"] Overall length and seating depth have nothing to do with headspace. Since belted cases headspace on the belt, your FL die could be moving the shoulder back too far, resulting in case head separation. Measure a fired case from head to shoulder, then measure one after you have FL sized it. You may need to get ahold of a comparitor for a caliper or, have someone with a 7STW reamer make you a "Widget" I would discard all of your brass, from this batch, and start over with new brass, after you get your die set right.
