[QUOTE="KRP, post: 668704, member: 9969"] Excessive headspace or improper sizing of the brass(pushing the shoulders back too far) leads to case head seperation. The case is pushed forward in the chamber by the firing pin then swells and sticks to the chamber, the brass stretches just above the case head as the excess clearance is now between the bolt face and case head.
