KEY,
I'm not seeing any evidence of the headspace growing as you conducted that work-up. There are similar measurements at the start and the end, and regardless of load.
The range of up to .005 could be because some cases spring back more than others in a situation of overstrech.
Where did you get the Bartlein from?
Bobke,
The difference in Lapua cases between new and fire-formed in my gun is 0.78gns of water and is simulated to be a difference of 25fps (QL). Whether that is enough to mess up an OCW is a fair concern. I don't know but surely it would.
