This may not be the correct forum, but here goes. I have slugged the barrel of my '74 Sharps (45-70) and decided on boolits 0.000 to 0.002" oversize. I'm also case neck sizing 0.002" under the boolit diameter. Now, how much re-swaging am I gonna do to the driving bands on soft 20:1 or 30:1 boolits as they are pushed into the interference fit of the case neck? The surface area of the driving bands is small and lead is soft compared to the brass case. I can see this as a non-issue if the front driving bands are seated outside of the case neck and create the seal while the milliseconds pass for proper obturation at the base. But, if all of the driving bands are inside the case neck and re-swaqging does occur, gas cutting could occur before the obturation seals the gas off. Or is this a case of thinking too much? I haven't seen any discussion on this topic in my visits to the forum so maybe that's my answer. But, I'd still like to see a discussion by the wizards. Thanks
