Like I said early on in this thread,go to a gunsmith and have him check the headspace if you don't want to buy one.

Thanks for the responses.
Is the head separation worry with sanding the cases due to thinning the case walls? And thus weakenening the case?
Thanks.
I believe the case head separation issue possibly caused by sanding the brass is a result of the roughing up or texture put on the brass by the sanding. When the round fires and the brass is expanded by the pressure, it usually expands lenthwise to take up any space allowed. If the brass is not smooth, it cannot expand properly and can actually separate or tear under the pressure. At least, this is how I understand the concept.
Update...
Shot the ppu today. No problems extracting and the bolt wasnt super hard to close. No signs of overpressure either. So i'm gonna assume good to go. Also the 90gr PPU shot tighter groups than the 100 gr winchester.
Thanks for the help. I think i was overthinking it!
