[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1369181, member: 59502"] I'll be perfectly honest with you, that sounds like a bad idea. I'm pretty sure stretching your brass will make for some crazy amount of run out. The brass will stretch more on the thin side. I make my own max chamber lenth guages out of once fired neck sized brass. Cut 1/2 the neck off with a dremel cut off wheel, seat a bullet deep, ream the cut off 1/2 of neck to have .001" or less tension on the bullet. Slip the 1/2neck on the bullet long then carefully chamber and eject the round and measure a few times. Most of my chambers are .030" or so longer than saami except for my WSM chambers which are really close to saami. [/QUOTE]
