Pod,
I think you'll only have problems if you adjust the headspace as you describe. If you've fireformed the cases from .348 cases and you adjust the headspace as described, the cases will split on the second or third loading because the brass will seperate a short distance ahead of the rim of the case. Had you corrected the headspace before you fireformed, you might be OK.
I assume you are neck sizing only since apparently you don't have a die. Does the case have a shoulder you could headspace on? If that is the case, you don't care about the rim at all, set your headspace off the shoulder.
Shooting .300 Win mag for 1,000 yards, our guns were headspaced on the shoulder instead of the belt as hunting guns are. The belt varied way too much for reliable accuracy.
