Ya know , it was the conversation between you and that touched off my thought process about setback. So I went to my EDC , ejected the chambered round and didn't even need to use a caliper. Startled me a bit... I'm sure my Guardian would have handled the pressures, BUT... we can't be too careful!

Yes, this can be dangerous in a gun if its bad enough. I had this issue as well with my 10mm. While chronographing some loads I was getting very inconsistent numbers. I found than some loads were "deeper" than other causing issues. Careful reloading with proper crimping on straight walled bullets can help but attention to detail is important.

Well said Padre!!
