[QUOTE="Cowboyshooter, post: 989117, member: 83113"] You mention two things that are big problems in your post, I will address each seperately; "really blown out back chamber", this is a sign of over pressure rounds being fired. Stop using or re-barrel the rifle. That barrel is shot, period. The next step is failure. While failure of a barrel does not happen the first overpressure round, generally, they add up and eventually the signs show you are courting disaster! If it is not your rifle making these, stand far away from the rifle that is, when fired. And do not use those loadings in your own rifle, unless you do not like it! Second one, "I lightly chucked them up in a lathe and skinned a few thousandths off and they chambered very easily". This is a recipe for case separation. When you have brass so badly damaged it is not possible to re-form it with your dies, toss it out! Brass is made a particular thickness for a reason, that is to contain the pressures generated, along with the support of the chamber. Reducing the case thickness reduces the ability to contain the pressure, as the chamber and case work as a team to hold in the pressure. Weaken one, and you increase your risk of a failure of both. It is a lot less expensive to throw a bit of brass out and buy new, than it is to replace the parts blown off during a catastrophic failure, or even the problem of removing a parted shell casing from the rifle.
