Something I've been wanting to just investigate

I think today the internal strength is all the same as it is an effort to make it different. But that too will need to be looked at. The pieces of brass are all very close except for overall length in their respective forms. But straightened out? I think they would be closer. It will be fun to look it all over. I've never noticed the rim thickness being all that different but the drawings (from different sources) show a notable difference, the .303 is fat in the rim.

manufacturing tolerance. Actual measurements can differ from the drawings - but you know that. On the other hand, it's amazing what can be done with what is on hand, especially when there are no "proper options". At one time I had a collection of over 50 headstamps in 38 Spl alone. The variations between manufacturers and time of manufacture were interesting.
