I have one and love it!! With rimless cases, the cases bottom out in the chamber. I shoot really hot loads in mine and the blast and recoil isn't near what my .44 mag. is with mild loads!!! I'm loading 230gr. xtp's at about 1100 fps. I will be using it deer hunting this year!!!

Cartriges will headspace [bottom out] differently. The first was the rimmed case and the rim would hold the headspace. Later, rimless rifle cases used the shoulder of the bottleneck. Belted magnum rifle cases just move the rim up the case a bit. The acp family of case uses the end of the case to hold the headspace. Yes, that thin wall holds it. If you try a roll crimp or over crimp, an acp it will not bottom and the firing pin may not reach it. Excess headspace that does fire can ruin accuracy or even blow a gun.

Great pistol round As stated the cartridge headspaces on the case rim, when loading I always trim cases to insure proper headspace. Will save a lot of headscratching later
