[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1272085, member: 90399"] Wow, that's why I love this forum. Thanks everyone for the fast responses! You're correct, it is a 460S&W in a TC Encore rifle. And it is my first time working with a straight walled cartridge. (I do have the Hornady Headspace gauge for cartridges with shoulders to measure). I just got my reloading dies for my 450 Bushmaster which is also straight walled. So I really want to make sure I am doing everything correctly. That is interesting idea of only "neck" sizing a straight walled case. It will take some experimenting! I never thought to even try that. I don't have a problem sawing a couple of these cases in half to inspect them. I do agree, that is a good next step! Thanks! I had a feeling I was working the brass too much. I also load for 303 British and I'm super careful to not overwork the cases because those rifles are notorious for loose chambers. I have never had a case head separation on my 303 Brit, but that's because I read about the problem before I started loading for it. [/QUOTE]
