Brilliant. This article says it all. Having followed screen-miles of discussion on this theme over several years, and observed participants getting so hot under the collar up that some of them got chucked off various forums, it is a relief to see that this topic has now been wrapped up.

nice artticle,i too have been experamenting with a rimed case sepertation problem, this happens to be a 50-70 gov. with black ,in a remington rollling block [ny]. to stop the case seperation i put a cerail box wad[ which i use over the powder],behind the case when i close the action ,this takes up the needed space. thanks for the story--charles

I have a P14 whose bolt closes on the "no go" gauge--will this method work
for my rifle??

Great Article: I truly appreciate the info. I have a number of .303's and go & no go gauges. I find that brass life is extended greatly if I only neck resize. But it is hard to do since I like shooting them all so I usually end up full length resizing. Had a number of case head separations in all my
.303's but it is no big deal. Most of the time I am only aware of it when I eject the case and then scope my target.
Thanks
