Mr. Hills is right, the variance in hulls is large and very few are a full 2 3/4. Those that are exhibit a very slight fraying at the extreme end of the crimp when fired in a short chamber gun. My experience is that it takes 4-5 firings before this becomes noticeable and in the loadings i use is of no consequence. These guns over their lifetimes have probably been fed every load commercially available with no problem. I cringe to think of the '' baby magnum'' and other abominations that have been through my guns before i acquired them.
