[QUOTE="BobTail, post: 4248372, member: 3752"] Wait a minute ..... now you're bringing neck sizing into the equation. The issue you are now talking about is easily remedied by the expander ball when you resize. I've loaded brass over 10 times and never had a neck thicken enough to cause a problem. 99% of factory chambers are loose enough that the neck thickness isn't ever an issue. The brass will fail in the web long before that happens. I read what you said. Several times. You said: [i]"If a bullet will slide into the neck of a fired case with no resistance, that case is good for another loading".[/i] It was incorrect then and it is still incorrect. You absolutely CANNOT SAFELY wait until the brass shows signs of being into the throat before you check the overall length. It is an incorrect and unsafe way to do things. And that's not MY opinion .... it is common knowledge with anyone who knows what they are doing. You said the beginner wanted to know what minimum equipment was and you answered him. Well ..... loading cases that are too long is not safe. Calipers are minimum equipment. Period. At the very LEAST the reloader should purchase an inexpensive case length gauge. The cases have to be measured. [u]There are no shortcuts to safety[/u]. Or didn't they teach you that in your engineering degree? Enough of this discussion for me. Brass must be measured in order to be safely reloaded. If you don't believe me, that's fine. But any loading manual will tell you that. Any seasoned reloader who knows the correct (and basic) practices will tell you that. Go to any reloading forum on the internet and inquire and 99% will tell you that. Any reloading manual will caution you against EVER allowing the brass to lengthen enough to contact the throat. That's just the truth plain and simple. Advising anyone to do otherwise is simply irresponsible. [/QUOTE]
