[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2287403, member: 87371"] Note that both pix showing incipient case head separation were of belted cases. They are typically more at risk of case head separation because they headspace on the belt, so the case can stretch from that point forward (i.e., toward the neck.). What you have described sounds like typical Garand stretching. You will probably find it harder to resize, and you will be working the brass more so it will probably wear out sooner, but you should be able to reload it safely several times. [/QUOTE]
