I've been reloading for a little while now and I know enough to be dangerous I guess lol. I've noticed something and want to ask the experts what you think. I have some once fired (not in my rifle) Winchester nickel plated cases. I trimmed them all to the minimum length and loaded a few to test load them. I shot them yesterday and today I full length resized them and the cases stretched .004-.007 after resizing. Is this amount of stretch normal or should I worry about it. I have no high pressure indications primers look normal, bolt lifts easily, case head looks good, and cases aren't bulged. I guess my question after all this is; is there a general rule as to how much case stretch per firing is acceptable or should I even be concerned about it.
