[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 750329, member: 18849"] As both Mikecr and Hornady pointed out the bullet starting at or in the lands will create the highest pressure....In other words they both agree then that backing off from the lands will reduce pressure..... We all have to agree that at some point pressure will start rising because of the burning characteristics of a given powder and case volume..Obviously this is not a linear curve but more of a reverse bell... Because these said increases are small and for the most part insignificant and often are not valid in the range most bullets are seated...I believe Hornady chose to illustrate only the obvious scenarios to further impress the danger aspect of high pressure and root causes.... Safety is the key issue in reloading and if a newcomer asks for advice it is probably a good idea to feed him something easy to digest... IMHO, Randy [/QUOTE]
