[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1386094, member: 30902"] That's the problem, once the case has been fired we really have no way to look backwards and see what the pre firing dimensions where. If the neck was over length though he should probably be able to see evidence of crimping on the end. I ran into something similar many moons ago with a .220 swift. I had inadvertantly skipped case trimming on one batch which I routinely did before resizing just to ensure having a small threshold of safety. I didn't blow the gun up but I sure blew the primer right through and blew smoke and hot gas out of every orifice in the rifle. Scared the snot out of me. [/QUOTE]
