[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 2103750, member: 4809"] Not really. Given that the Absolute really has no ogive, I could have seated them out a lot further. As it was, I seated them relatively deep - meaning the first driving band was even with the neck. This depth put about 0.14" of the base below the bottom of the shoulder of the brass (basically the entire boat tail). This may have slightly compressed the 59.0 grain load, but it would have been close. My throat would easily allow me to seat the bullet out another 0.30" which would completely remove any compressed loads. Just eyeballing the various loads I have worked up, it seems that 60.0 to 62.0 grains just about fills the 6.5 PRC case to the bottom of the neck or top of the shoulder. Again, even at 62 grains, I can avoid compressed loads, if I so desire, just by seating the bullet a little further out. [/QUOTE]
