    Honestly, Mr Horton... In my opinion, .004" at the bolthead is going to do precious little to save your American brass when the chamber is nearly 1/8" (.125") longer than the case at to the neck.... The biggest problem with the brass is probably the wall thickness and the wrong "happy medium" between ductility and elasticity of the metal.
