Jam a tight slightly tapered plug into a case mouth held in a tight fitting ring. Then, pull the plug out. It will drag the brass with it a bit, lengthening the case and thinning the brass in the process. Repeat for more stretching. A slow and tedious, but effective way to lengthen a case a few thousandths of an inch if it's slightly short for the chamber.
Another technique that may be called the same is as follows:
Press the case into a tight ring. Spin the case in the lathe, and use a rounded form tool inside the case to press the brass against the ring. Slowly withdraw the form tool, forming and lengthing the brass. Similarly, press the case onto a close fitting arbor, and spin it in the lathe. Use a rounded button form tool on the outside of the case to flow brass toward the mouth, as you spin the mandrel/case in the lathe.
