I have a couple original Winchesters in 38 WCF and have shot them just a few times with light loads. I notice that the fired cases look quite a bit different from new cases. The shoulders are blown out and moved forward over 1/10th of an inch. Both my '73 and my '92 produce the same effect. The fired cases look identical. Can anybody tell me what's going on? Is this common?
