Is my Type 2 chamber not Type 2?

[Randy99CL]

These fired rounds were w/ a .136" bolt when the chamber actually needed a .125" bolt. The shoulder of the cases are "ballooned" out.
The other picture shows how far a fired case sticks out of my case gauge.

Thanks for posting these pics!
Very informative. It's hard to predict where a case will stretch when it is fired in an oversize chamber. Yours is what I would guess to be the less dangerous result?

FWI understand, the firing pin usually pushes the case forward in the chamber until the shoulder hits, so when the case expands the main body is held by the chamber walls and the base has to stretch backward to take up the slack. This can lead to a catastrophic case head separation.

Johnny's Reloading Bench switched out a Saturn barrel for a Faxon and the fired brass length difference was .010". The sized reloads made for the Saturn would not even chamber in the Faxon. He rants about it in this video at about the 15 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ecjvr-o...jTRb-JJmto
The funny thing to me is that his Saturn brass looks to be within spec at 1.224" while the Faxon brass measures a little short at 1.214".
