Default RE: Oiled Bore?

The issue with oil in a centefire bore is thatthe cartridge case expands upon firingand grips the side of the chamber - thus reducing stress against the boltface or breechblock. If there's oil between the cartridge case and the chamber wall you run a danger of excessive pressure against the bolt.
