Heck, I would think with a buckled case neck, it could hamper easy bullet seating and make a ring of resistance greater than it should be, like a strong crimp, and create a higher pressure when the bullet is trying to exit with powder pressure building behind it.

Also, the bullet may be seated deeper than it should with the shortened neck and create a smaller case volume for the powder and therefore higher pressure.

I don't think the pressures would be significantly increased but my comment was that I don't like to increase risk in any way when I'm dealing with reloading and shooting. There's enough inherent risk with shooting, especially 120+ old firearms, that we should be prudent to be as safe as possible.

Any increased pressures beyond normal with a possibly damaged case potentially increases risk in my book.

Anything wrong with my reasoning? I always like to learn from any erroneous logic!
