Guys Guys, please. This is very wrong information.
Measuring head space on a belted case does nothing for the issue being discussed.
The head space guages for belted cases have no bearing on the shoulder location or on being able to help with case separation preventative measurements.
Measuring Head space on a case which head spaces on the shoulder has merit but not for belted cases where the guage measures only the belt location in reference to the bolt face location, the shoulder location can float all over the place depending on how much you bump the shoulder back and this alone will contribute to the separation.
The only solution to lengthening the life of the brass is to head space off the shoulder but in order to do this..........first shot preparation is critical, the case has to be tight against the bolt face prior to firing that first shot, then sized minimally in order not to create too much head space for future case reloading life.
