Greetings again Strider B,
I'm with Minimms2 again. 44 grains of AR2206H is well below max of 45.5 grains for the 150 grain BT even in the Federal cases which have less capacity than the Winchester ones that Hodgdons used. Also I don't think your head space is excessive as there is no riveting as there would be on a rifle with more head space. If you are full length resizing it would still be wise to check for incipient head separation each load after the third. 15 inches borders on stupid short for this old fudd but it seems to work for you so relax and enjoy.
Grandpamac.
