[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1273373, member: 4191"] You should be able to inspect the interior of your fired cases and see the thinning of the side wall near the web/case head -[FLOATRIGHT][/FLOATRIGHT] without having to section them longitudinally. Of course you can also cut them in half. But I've inspected the interior side walls of cases in the web area for decades now, even on calibers as small as .277, simply with a small focusable flashlight. On a case as short and large in diameter as your .460 casings, it should be very simple/easy, compared to inspecting 270 and 280 cases. Then you can toss the ones close to separating instead of wasting them all, even the useful ones. More importantly, you'll be able to prevent damage to your firearm by avoiding case head separations by culling the bad ones. BTW, I agree your problem is due to excessive headspace. The only other plausible explanation is defective brass casings, in my experiences and in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
