Along with my brother, we have measured something like 12 Model of 1917s. All were about the far end of field reject, all shoot just fine.
And no one has a clue as to why? A bunch of smiths got to gather and found someone to blame it on. This stuff does not lock me up and I find no reason to make up stories, for me it is not challenging, if I have a rifle with a long chamber I form cases to fit. For most that is a complicated process because they only have cases available to them that manufacturers make available. I purchases cases that have been fired in long/trashy old chambers, when culling the cases at the range I cull the cases, I only purchases cases that are long from the shoulder to the case head. I use the length of the case from the shoulder to the case head to off set the length of the chamber.
