[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 488659, member: 1521"] Cartridges chambered with alot of clearance(including HS), that are not jammed, do not float, and are not centered. They 'lay' in the chamber cocked at whatever angle the extractor biases and the neck/shoulder clearances allow. With this, there is no concentric pre-firing condition at all. Nor would there be with perfectly STRAIGHT ammo, and I can't imagine anyone suggesting otherwise. Now if bullets are jammed and there are relatively large clearances, then of coarse it is possible. That's the qualifier that is often denied or disregarded by competitors, who must FL size irregardless -to group shoot within conditions. With minimal body sizing, minimal HS(<1thou), and partial neck sizing, we can get closer to concentric pre-firing, even when bullets are seated off jam. Hunters do not have to FL size the better cartridges, and we can make perfect ammo without bending loaded round necks. It just takes a little more work, as anyone should expect. [/QUOTE]
