[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 2415123, member: 99519"] I had 2 boxes of Lapua 65284 brass do the same......initial firing and 2 reloads and case head separations on almost every piece....distinctive lines on brass..... At GS we did testing with new brass(unfired)....found that the specs were correct..... Ended up pulling barrel and rechambering just so very shorter... And all is well..... I think Lapua put out some super soft brass......... Have you tried any factory loaded to compare for headspace lines.... But definitely only neck size til third firing...and look for separation lines.. Or check with a pick inside the case after first & second firing.... [/QUOTE]
