    @mucko. Fair comment. Its jusy a possibility to consider is all. As you correctly state, head separation usually occurs a bit above the belt. Certainly in my experience too.
    The final analysis of cause will be of interest to all on here who reload. It is intriguing , but bloody bad luck it occurred at all.

    its all good mate, right or wrong i would like piece of mind to find the right answer to what happened, if there's lapse in my reload procedure i can improve that if its random metallurgy causing random bolt failure then i simply move on and buy a custom action brandnew that will handle the 62,000psi i might run, its been a good thread and getting some excellent questions and answers.
