That kind of varies, but one thing's for sure:  If you fire a nice
soft case like a Remington enough times so that the primer falls
out, it will be a pretty good fit to the chamber.  8-)  I'm pre-
suming neck sizing only, of course.  I think if you do this, the
case is ever so slightly _larger_ than the chamber; at least it
feels that way when you try to put the case back in the chamber.
