[QUOTE="corsair4360, post: 1983000, member: 63474"] Let me relate an experience of mine reloading a 7mm Magnum. The rifle shot really well (as I recall about 1"). After firing 3 or 4 times the cases swelled to the point that the brass when laid on a straight edge had swelled to the point the belt no longer touched the straightedge. This was over 40 years ago, I do not have the rifle or cases from it any longer. Let the rifle tell you what it likes. Case lengths, diameter of the neck etc are all established by the chamber and action you are shooting. The rifle is the ultimate arbiter of loads for it.... specifications, etc are irrelevant for a specific rifle. [/QUOTE]
