[QUOTE="dodgefan, post: 385036, member: 24657"] What I was thinking was minimizing the case stretch at the web of the case more specifically with a chamber that might be be on the long side of SAAMI headspace dimensions. An example might be I just bought some 6.5X55 brass that shows it is .007 shorter in headspace dimension then what a fired case comes out of my rifle. I know that it will shoot fine but according to Varmint Als article most of the case stretch will take place at the web if fired in a dry chamber (we all pretty much know what happens if you bump the shoulder back to far to many times), if I fired a lubricated case then it should move brass from the forward part of the case body which I know to be a better location for it to come from.
