I full length size for a 30/06 and after 3 loads im about to have head separation?
No one has asked what rifle you are loading for, no one has asked what you did with the first round you fired, no one has asked if you compared the length of the fired case with the first case you sized as in the length of the case from the shoulder to the head of the case, problem, to most everything is head space.
The case has head space? The die has head space and worst, everything is a head space gage.

I measure the length of the chamber from the shoulder of the chamber to the bolt face. I dig out my feeler gage and then adjust the die off the shell holder, how much? Depends on how far off the shoulder of the chamber I want the shoulder of the case. I am the fan of cutting down on all that case travel, to reduce case travel I use transfers and standards.
