[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2825751, member: 1521"] Stop reaching for ever sloppy clearances. More clearances is pretty much never the right answer. Instead, go tight with clearances, as fitted to new cases, to prevent near web brass from yielding (>1thou) at SAAMI Max. Get as much barrel steel around a chamber as you can (as practical). Go coned breech if you can. Run load pressures to SAAMI max, as your max. Have a custom body die made, from your fully fire formed & stable cases, that barely shoulder bumps & barely body sizes if at all. You can pressure test for what I call MyMax, with web measurements, but it has always been inline with SAAMI max. So much so actually that I suspect they're doing the same test as I am. But the object in all of this is to manage near-web brass yielding to minimal (<1thou). You CAN do that [/QUOTE]
