[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1058704, member: 77249"] Rust in the chamber can cause many problems. Rust in the chamber would have to be heavy to change pressure much and the case would not go in and chamber. But it could show pressure signs that may not be real. In a rusty chamber the roughness will lock the case at its fired location. If the case was shoved a few thousands by the firing pen in firing the case would lock in the chamber, Then the case brass would stretch allowing the base back to the bolt face, Making a possible stretch ring just in front of the extractor grove in the case. Also allowing the shell head a running lick coming back to the bolt face may show more signs of pressure than true pressure. Rust may cause stiff bolt movement on the opening of the action and hard extraction of the case. Cleaning the chamber by some previous suggestions will help smooth the chamber. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
