[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1215163, member: 10755"] ALL cases shrink in length when fireformed in a larger chamber, the brass has to come from somewhere, and this somewhere is the neck and shoulder. It will generally grow some the next time you size it, a few firings and it will be back to normal length. My brass generally shortens, .020"-.040", depending on how much it is blown out from the parent case. It poses no problem to function. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
