So I went more in depth here. I tried some once fire RP brass. Before sizing, it chambered fine, I couldn't feel resistance. After sizing, the bolt definitely closed with more pressure. Not that bad, but definitely there. I colored that same case with a marker, and it is hard to see but there appears to be a ring right at the neck/shoulder junction. I measured the rest of the case, right below the shoulder/body junction, midway down the case, and at the bottom. All those measurements were within .001 of an unsized case. So what can I learn based off of these further developments? Need some wiser heads helping me out here. Thanks!
