[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1724600, member: 10755"] Am I correct that within .001 of a second, the neck expands, all tension is lost and the bullet starts it's path into the rifling? For a minute amount of time in the burn, the bullet is held in place, even longer if it has received a crimp. Then the neck loses all 'grip' on the bullet. I never believed the neck lost grip that early in the burn, but even firing a primed only case with a bullet seated into it in a different cal rifle shows the neck has lost tension on the bullet afterwards. I fired several primed only 264WM rounds through my 338WM rifle. The bullets actually fly a considerable distance with a magnum primer. After firing these, the bullet would easily fall into the neck. So, how soon is the neck expanded and the bullet freely moves? I really would like to know the answer to this. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
