[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 668650, member: 24624"] I'll be keen to hear the real answer, but I have a couple of thoughts. First, thiner material tends to streatch more. That would be towards the shoulder/neck. Second, unsupported material streatches more. If your lugs are hammered back and the excessive headspace is reflected in excessive space between the bolt nose and chamber, then the pressure ring ahead of the web will expand excesssively outwards. So, I think it may depend a little on the individual chamber and brass. ...just a hunch, but not sure. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will comment. -- richard [/QUOTE]
