Thread: Is this normal for my brass

That's right about where one of my 243's gave me a head separation.
Lever action that always required trimming and lots of resizing, min chamber diameter I suspect.
I learnt to alway's check down inside the case with a pick. Any brass starting to catch the pick in the inside got turfed.
Often that was only 4-5 reloads and not max loaded either.

I would suggest it was more likely a MAXIMUM chamber.....thus brass grew heaps each time it was fired...a minimum chamber would leave brass pretty much the right size....needing little work.

Yes this.
