[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2846126, member: 75451"] I once had a “very“ compressed load, using a powder that I knew was too slow while waiting for my chosen powder to come available! The first couple of cartridges I loaded “swelled” the cases as I seated the bullet too rapidly. I ended up using a long drop tube, while gently tapping the case with a small screwdriver. Even then the powder was just (maybe 1/16”) below the case rim…..I then seated a 270 grain Barnes bullet very slowly to prevent swelling (expanding) the case as done with the first few! But…..once seated, the bullet remained at the proper seating depth! memtb [/QUOTE]
