[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2309867, member: 10755"] If you push the shoulder back too much on that case…you will still get case head separations. It is a common misconception that problems are caused by the belt, the belt does nothing after the first firing other than being there. It no longer controls headspace and should be ignored, but too many push their shoulders back too far and blame every problem on the belt. I have NEVER had a case separation on a belted case, not once! The reason is because I understand how to size my brass so that the shoulder controls the headspace after the initial firing and, if you size so the case is tight from base to shoulder the first time, you encounter zero problem from then forward. Anyway, that’s how it is. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
