[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1714981, member: 78056"] It looks fine to me, pretty much like my .338 WM cases after sizing. If you're worried about case head seperation, take a fine wire, around .030 in dia (I used safety wire as I have a lot of it around) and long enough to stick out about 1.5" bend a 1/4" 90 degree bend in it and you will be able to slide the bend down the inside of the case. If there's enough head seperation to worry about you will be able to feel it. Even so, it really isn't all that much of a worry anyway, I've had cases completely seperate to the point only the case head ejected! I couldn't tell until I saw just the head... and you won't be able to chamber another round until the remainder of the case is removed, which all have come out easily. It might be dumb luck but it's happened in 4 different calibers (.338WM, .308, .243 & .44 mag), maybe half a dozen times and I never once had any kind of trouble from it. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
