[QUOTE="Leatherneck, post: 2326526, member: 84927"] Is it possible that once fired brass can have a smaller dimension than unfired brass? I shot a box of ammo today, Hornady Precision Hunter 150ELDX in my Remington 7mm-08 and when I got home I checked the shoulders with a SAC comparator and found the fired brass averaged about .002/.003 shorter than the loaded ammunition. The primers look like the are seated properly. The spent cartridge feels like it chambers a little easier as well. I understand that their is spring back in the brass as well. Could I be seeing spring back? I’m relatively new to the whole reloading thing but have read enough to make my head spin. I don’t have the reamer print. It has a Kreiger barrel and was chambered by them as well. The rifle shoots sub 1/2 MOA with said ammo. [/QUOTE]
