@Bart B. I follow your first sentence but after that you lose me. Do you really mean firing weak ammunition sets the shoulder back? So if I was to fire full power ammo, fitting the case to my chamber, and then reloaded something weak in it:
1) the shoulder would be set back
2) the case wouldn't be pushed against the bolt?

Can you elaborate a little? I don't understand.
