    Reloder-17 and the 175 grain SMK

    Cartridge growth in semi-autos

    Hi folks! I have a question for those who reload for semi-autos: why is it that when I measure a finished cartridge, be it a handload or factory, and then load it by dropping the bolt on a magazine, that the round grows in length? This happens with my handloads; and I just tried some FGMM 168s...
