[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2554439, member: 122715"] I always felt like the initial 15 thousandths stretch really set up my belted mag cases for case head separation down the road, so I had a custom reamer made up with 10 thousandths shorter headspace. I still full length size every firing, but I try to limit the shoulder bump to zero or half a thousandth reduction from the length before going into the die. Only on the third firing of cases using that approach, so don't really know yet if I'll get much longer life. [/QUOTE]
