Do you have the tools to measure by how much the shoulders have been pushed back during sizing?

Can you measure and compare this cartridge and some cases that did fire?

I left it in the rifle for a minute then ejected it, had a look at the primer and chucked it away. A bloke I used to know had a hangfire blowup in midair with scrapnel in the face - eyes ok.

The cases are fire-formed from 270 brass. Necked down leaving a donut ring on the neck to firmly chamber against. After that the fire-formed cases are sized only enough to chamber firmly, and AI cases dont stretch anyway.
The primer looked just like a primer looks when a fired case has been used in-leu of a 'snap cap' for dry firing the rifle, so a heavy strike
