[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 839049, member: 5302"] Every rimless or belted bottleneck case I've fired is a few thousandths shorter (head to mouth, or case length) after firing. Fired case shoulders are set back 1 to 2 thousandths each time. Every one got longer when full length resized. Each case's shoot size, reload cycle grew the case about .001". So they were trimmed back to my spec every ten cycles. I think everyone elses cases do the same thing. But measure the case length before it's reloaded, after it's fired then again after it's full length sized. [/QUOTE]
