[QUOTE="PBR driver, post: 1611670, member: 20780"] Not so, this gives you your maximum in your CHAMBER. It is independent of the cases used just as long as you stay at the given 0.0001" measurements. Thinner or lighter cases and thicker or heavier cases will give your maximum loads at a different point but you can use this expansion as gospel in your chamber. Do not try and over think this test it is really simple. If you are using a factory fired case that is for example expands to .468" then this is your maximum case expansion. When your loads achieve this same measurement that is the maximum your reloads should expand in your chamber. There are some exceptions to this rule such as the .30-06 which you may find in a Winchester 1895, a weaker action so the factories load to safe pressure found in such rifles, you may be able to load to approximately 1/2 a 0.0001" more in your bolt gun. Factory ammo is loaded for the most part up to the max so the rule of your max still holds true. [/QUOTE]
