[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1244924, member: 2736"] Yes, it is very common if the rifle is set up correctly. If you head space the parent cartridge with .002 to .004 thousandths compression the cartridge will be held in place with no case movement during fire forming. this also helps keep the brass from growing in length, thinning it. Most of the time if loaded this way the brass will only lengthen .004 or .005 thousandths when fire formed. I normally load a good hunting bullet and load a known load that is just less than max in the parent cartridge to get the performance and the best fire form I can. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
