Interesting MJ. I may have been lucky with the small batch of RP cases I have. I don’t think I’ve had to FL size them yet. They have so far held up well in Dad’s No. 4(T). Next time I’m up in Ontario, I’m going to check the headspace on this rifle. It was done by a very competent DCRA Armourer in Ottawa back in the ‘60’s, so I expect it is right at minimum.

I measured the rim thickness on my RP cases at 0.059 to 0.060. I don’t expect they will last as long as my Canadian military cases.
