Causes of OVERPRESSURE

I'm talking about "chamber length gauges" sold by Brownells/ Sinclair that are used to measure & determine your max case length as determined by measuring your chamber.
Sounds like you are measuring your brass with a go/ no go gauge, correct?
You can also make you own "Chamber Length Gauge" if you need or want to check. Less expensive (even though the Sinclair's are only about $6) and more accurate for tight chambers.

LMAO, no. How would you do that ? I think you're thinking too much.

I don't believe for a second that moisture, oil or solvent causes excessive pressure.
Have witnessed grease lathered cartridges fire and extract with no I'll effects…not even an ejector mark, which I believed for decades would happen, not so it turned out.
It was a very interesting experiment and proved that it was a myth put out by the military to make sure that the riflemen kept there guns CLEAN.

Cheers.
