[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1713925, member: 18849"] The short "fat" wsm chambers reduce chamber thickness and therefore allow more chamber expansion during firing. Savage use large shank (1.12) on all short magnums allowing for more steel around the case. I believe the tenon is smaller on the Kimber. Thread fit also comes into play here with looser fit allowing for more chamber expansion. However, if the cases are expanding because of chamber stretch then it would take a lot of force to resize them and that wasn't mentioned. My .02, Randy [/QUOTE]
