[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1960197, member: 2736"] The failure area is in the heat effected zone caused during annealing. the added head space allowed the case to expand in the weakest area and it failed. If you are loading hot loads this can cause case stretch and cases will fail faster. the barrel should never come lose if it is torqued correctly and not over heated. I would recommend Throwing all of these cases away and start over with proper barrel tightness and head space. back off the pressure, anneal often. and enjoy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
