[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 972468, member: 10755"] How does your neck sized brass 'feel' when you chamber it, is it tight, loose or have some feel when closing the bolt? This is the easiest way to determine if your brass is too long for your chamber, or has excessive swelling from too high pressure. You must remember that the chamber may have as much as .040" in front of the neck over what the max brass dimension is. To determine this exactly would be to take a chamber cast and measure it. How much does your neck expand on firing? This can cause high pressures if it is too tight. There are many variables that can cause problems pressure wise. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
