[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 796940, member: 35183"] Or the distance from bolt face to belt groove in chamber is off 0.006-0.010. That will do it for sure... This type of brass has 2 different failure modes for case head separation. If either the space to the shoulder from the belt, or the space from bolt to belt is off it will cause the same problem. If you neck size only though, then it suggests the primary head space is off. $30 gauge will tell you that. To fix it though (Remington) would require some material removed from the barrel shoulder. Just how much does that brass cost ??? For me 6.5x284 Norma was about $1.25 a piece. I sure as heck want to get all the life I can out of expensive (and unobtainable) brass. [/QUOTE]
