Then when the bang happens, the case swells to meet the size of the chamber, and because the case is not the same size as the chamber because it is too short, you get more expansion because of the small size difference due to the slight taper in the case as it is designed, but guys, I am NO expert on reloading and chambers and sizing. Just thinking out loud.


I wouldn't think brass length would matter much on a non-bottlenecked case, but measured anyways and it's just fine.
