[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 243104, member: 10755"] dave, I have several Weatherby cartridges, including a 375WbyMag, this particular chambering will not allow any bullet, except a Barnes, to touch the rifling when a bullet is placed in the chamber and an empty case is chambered behind it (Woodleigh 300gr PP.). Therefore every time this rifle is fired the bullet is released from the neck before the rifling is engaged, and I have never had a dented case, even with bullets that would have to travel for a good 1/4" from the case mouth before engraving the rifling don't show any denting of the case. Also, I have never had a dented case while fire forming from 375H+H to 375Wby, even with the large gap that is present for gas to rush down into, it has never happened. If the pressure is substantial enough, the neck should be fully expanded to seal the chamber just as or before the bullet is fully released, if it didn't we would all end up with gas in our face on every shot we take. I do not believe this to be correct that it causes case dents when a bullet is released from the case before it engraves the rifling, only unusually low pressures can cause this. Cheers.
