[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 944397"] So with 'Shortgrass's help in understanding that the measurement I made has no definition within SAMMI and knowing that the SAAMI approval for the 300 Weatherby Magnum was never issued.lightbulb There is a .020 difference in base of the cases to the point on the shoulder I used a reference between 2 rifles chambered in 300 Weatherby Magnum. Gee wiz, that sounds clear as mud, though it doesn't violate the technical use of terminology 'head space' for belted case designs. Non-belted case designs, well, that sure adds to the confusion:rolleyes:. Anyway, I never would have expected such a huge difference between rifles. 1) I know not to resize cases from different rifles to the same specification. 2) I know that resizing to 'fit the chamber' for belted magnums [B]works better for me[/B]. 3) I know that the portion of the cases that is within the SAAMI specifications and used as 'head space' with belted cases is within published data for the 300 Weatherby Magnum. Even if not SAAMI approved. 4) I know that the 2 270 Weatherby Magnum rifles I load for, both Weatherby branded Mark V models have .002 or less using the same referencing format, between fired cases. and now I guess, from 'Shortgrass's explaination that, that much difference in belted magnums is fine because that is not the chambering reference point. Though I'm not sure as there was so much discussion of 'being concerned with terminology' if that is correct. Oh well, being pedantic doesn't always transfer the understanding to the recipient. I know I have that problem plenty of the time. [/QUOTE]
