[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 3957425, member: 49426"] Yep Reloaded a lot and probably full length sized Front part of the case sticks to the chamber wall Tail end near the head is too stiff to stick and slides back A small area in the side stretches, thins, and work hardens. Do it to many times and the case head separates Saw it once in a 303 British They are notorious for it because the chamber has more clearance than average. Case head separation not that big a deal in modern actions, but if you’re playing with and old bolt action, pay attention. Some early military actions had trouble with this (pre 98 Mausers and others) This should be taken into account when reloading, especially for actions that don't handle case head separations well. Considerations include neck sizing only to minimize side wall growth, monitoring case wall thickness using an internal feeler, and looking for a discolored band on the case wall, and discarding brass after a limited number of uses.
