It'll easily go into a bolt head and you'll feel the in line ejector and firing pin pushing it off the bolt face. And how the extractor positions the case head.
Yes but that's when another force is being applied to the case ie ejector or firing pin . If the firing pin is cocked and there is no ejector . What force does the extractor put on the case when chambered . I ask because you wrote

Kinda like shooting a 40 S&W in a 10mm chamber ?
