down below. A weekend or two ago I was loading up one of our cartridges based on the 30-30 brass. One brand of brass had rims so thick they wouldn't go in the shell holder. I didn't measure them at the time but they were badly oversize. Rims that thick would quite often not allow the TC barrel to close enough to fire.
