[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 804480, member: 13632"] To check your head space just put tape on the back of a sized case, each piece is .002 put it on till your bolt won't close and it will give you an idea. Honestly I think you've just gotten the brass filled out to the chamber, if you look at the reamer specs on that case you'll see that you have a few thou of room, the case body blows out while the case head may move a thou or less, when you size it back down the die sizes the body but does not touch the case head area. That is the issue some run into with belted cases is you can's size that little bit down without special dies because the belt screws ya. The WSM tends to be more pronounced than a lot of cases because the case head is heavy duty but the body needs FL sized regularly if not every firing. One firing from head separation will have a dark line and it will have about a .010 thinning in that area don't ask how I know!! [/QUOTE]
