[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 1675538, member: 38801"] I have never had a belted magnum case separation. I use hornady comparators and only bump the shoulder 0.002" after firing. I however have a Mauser 3000 that was rebarreled to 264WM in the 1980's. This rifle with anything more than moderate loads would have limited primary extraction and reloaded cartridges would be difficult to re-insert into the chamber. This was with Winchester white bag brass and ANY reloads. I have shot factory loads that the shoulder moved 0.030" foreword and the brass swelled just in front of the belt. This could be an out of spec chamber but with 120 sierra pro hunter's it's the most accurate rifle I own; shooting 0.2"-0.5" at 100yds. This rifle is also the most frustrating rifle I own and will be rebarreled soon due to the difficulties I've had with reloading for it. I provide this information for anecdote only not to say that out of spec chambers are to blame or that belted brass is inherently flawed. [/QUOTE]
