Just to make sure I understand the terminology…looking at the joint between the chamber body and the forcing cone, and based on Researcher’s explanation, the shell’s crimp opens at the junction of the chamber and cone. So if my measurement shows 2 5/8” at the breech end of the joint where it meets the chamber, then the shell capacity is 2 3/4”, correct?

Note in the photo (not a good one) that where the forcing cone at the end of the shell chamber begins is where I took the measurement. Which gives me right at 2 5/8".
