I shoot a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 308. I was measuring my recently fired cases and got some case measurements from 2.016 to 2.020. All beyond the SAAMI spec of 2.015. Few questions:
Thanks! |

1. Yes.
2. It could, depending on your chamber and throat dimensions. If your case mouth extends into the throat, then you could have a pressure increase because the case mouth can't expand enough to release the bullet before pressures rise too high. This could also affect accuracy. 3. Yes. |

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Or buy one of these in the proper caliber and find out the true oal of your chamber then trim your casings accordingly.

Measure after you re-size them if you haven't already. if you measure a fired case it will measure a little more in length. don't trim unill resized or you will come up short. |
