[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1303274, member: 2736"] Another problem just cropped up with some New 7/08 ammo. The case length was 2.045 (Making the necks .010 to long and increasing the pressure. the cases looked like they were crimped after they were fired. SAMMI chamber dimensions show the neck should be 2.045 max so ammo should be 2.035 to work in chambers. I normally trim to 2.025 (For .010 to .020 clearance in chamber. I have seen this problem before but it was normally a factory chamber that was not cut to SAMMI specifications (These were European made rifles). The ammo just keeps getting worse from the factory. I have not mentioned brands, because there doesn't seem to be any brand that doesn't have this problem. There is one brand that I have not found any problems with "YET" so I will reserve my comments for them just in case. The point is we must check every round until they get it together.
