Thread: Large vs small

Interesting observations. My current experiments with cartridges that run both sizes have left me scratching my head. In 224 Valkyrie and 6.8SPC I have brass with both sizes. Using 224V Starline brass with smalls I can get ejector swipes and cratered primers in a Savage action at moderate pressures, and it's pretty similar in the 6.8SPC with LRP brass. But in a 6mmARC on a Savage action of the same era (so presumably similar tolerances), it will run tremendous pressures (like well above safe and sensible) without any pressure signs from either brass or primer.
