Chamber variance

Roadkill · 11-28-2002, 10:34 AM

Got bored yesterday, was to windy to hunt, took a Webley .38 SW down, inventoried ammo, don't shoot it much cause of ammo cost & anemic loads available. Had a coffe can full of .357 nickel cases, are nearly impossible to size, did a little measuring, took a dremel tool and cut down the cases to S&W length, polished, deburred, ect, loaded wqith 5g of Unique with a 125g lrn bullet. As I sized them I noticed they are loose in the Webley but don't fit in the chanmber of my Colt .357 trooper. Can't get a real measurement on chamber, don't have tools for that. The Webley is 1944, War Finish marked, no safety problems, should the rounds be loose in the chamber? How much loose is "too" loose?
