[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 116785, member: 5302"] If those cases 6 to 7 thousandths longer caused no binding when you opened the bolt after firing them, they may well more closely match your bolt face to chamber shoulder maximum length. And if your brass is quite springy, the longest one may still be a couple thousandths short of actual chamber headspace to the shoulder. You'll need to measure it with a gage of some sort. If your bolt face isn't square to the chamber axis, the fired case heads may not be square which can change the readings a thousandth of an inch or more. [/QUOTE]
