Found something interesting today:
Finally got around to resizing the Brass for my MG20
I notices it took very little force to get the Case to run up intro the Die
Took an un-resized Case and ran it through my Wilson Chamber Gauge
It almost fit-in and fell-out without any effort....almost as if it were resized ?
Is the Chamber on the MechTech that tight ?
I wonder if the Blowback Design is a factor, in that the Case doesn't remain in the Chamber as long as in most Pistols, and that it doesn't have the time to "Fire Form" to the Chamber
Hmmm ?
Thought ?
The load is lower pressured and well within the design of the brass therefore you are seeing less case expansion.

Basically the same load fired in my Witness Longslide will leave a "bulge" needing to be run through the "Bulge Buster" Die
Have you measured the chamber of both the Witness Longslide vs. the MechTech
What is the load data?

The MechTech Chamber is: 0.4225" (as best as I can tell without taking the CCU apart
The Witness Longslide's Chamber is: 0.4290" (ugly)
The Wilson Case Gauge is; 0.4220"
It looks like the chamber is tighter on the MechTech... 8)
