[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1826491, member: 9772"] Get a hornady headspace comparator. Measure your fired brass. Set your die to only bump the shoulder back 2-3 thou. If you just follow the die instructions depending on your chamber you can be pushing the shoulders back 10-12 thou. With any case but especially a belted case this will lead to a case head separation very quickly. By just bumping the shoulders slightly you force the brass to headspace off the shoulder and not the belt. [/QUOTE]
