[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 773981, member: 48043"] If they aren't used in an auto with a floating firing pin they will be fine if they chamber, but may have slightly different lock time from shot to shot; so accuracy may be reduced somewhat. We've seen this with 44 mags at one time or another when you forget to clean the pockets. The big thing with them is if the dang things stick up enough they'll bind on rotation. As to the headspace changing afterward, I doubt it, as the pressure exerted by firing is a hell of a lot higher than the primer's cup strength(it flattens when you fire it, right?). It may change your effective headspace before it is shot, but if it chambers and you are alright with a bit of accuracy loss, so be it... [/QUOTE]
