[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 384906, member: 4191"] Yes, if you're saying the cases won't let go in wet weather, I agree. But case stretch isn't the evidence being identified and described by BuffaloBob, clhman, and 300remum. They're describing additional case head thrust against the bolt face to the extent they experience case head flow into the bolt face, and the telltale associated difficult bolt lift. So... - retail purchasers of factory ammo would [I]still[/I] complain of overpressured loads if they experienced difficult bolt lift due to brass case head flow into the bolt face, along with plunger hole and extractor slot marks on the case heads with their factory ammo. Retail users would interpret this as overpressured factory loads, even though they aren't. Just normal pressured factory loads fired with water-wetted exteriors. The factory probably loads them to pressures just enough less than us wildcatters are doing such that - IF the case heads hit the bolt face with a slightly heavier thrust with wetted cartridges - that the case heads are still left largely free of case head flow into the bolt face indentations, which would also prevent any difficult bolt lifts. That's my best guess. Post back if I misunderstood you... [/QUOTE]
