[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 1852622, member: 7"] Head space is the space between the bolt face and the case head... no matter how it gets there. When the case is fired the first time, and if it has oil on it, it will slip back and fill the chamber without stretching. If it (and the chamber walls are dry) the case will stretch in front of the web. From this point on, the loader is the person who adds headspace by bad loading practices,, and each time the case is fired, it will stretch. If you are trimming more than once (the first time you trimmed), then the case is stretching, and on the way to a head separation. [/QUOTE]
