[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 554320, member: 15748"] newmexkid, No apologies needed, and I was just having some fun with it anyway. No, the pressure changes from this single factor alone shouldn't be anything to worry about. You mention using partially sized cases in two different rifles, though, and I can assure that's going to cause trouble down the road. Probably exactly the sort I was joking about.
