[QUOTE="britz, post: 244809, member: 7865"] In my experience seating too far out can lead to two possible dangers (that I know of lol): one being that you are pressing on the lands which can cause a presure increase; and the other being that you can have the bullet slip out of the grip of the case during iginition allowing gasses to escape AROUND the case prior to it's being tightly compressed around the chamber sealing it. However, with regards to the later, I have only found that this happens in extreme conditions. I was loading a 300wsm w/ 110 gr vmax's and seating them about .1 or less on the case.... bad idea. Pulled the trigger and had black soote coat my bolt and an awfully perculure smell comming form the rifle. I deduced the problem after some conversations on this site. But as lever head said, in all PRACTICAL measures the case doesn't increase in size. But it does a little ;) [/QUOTE]
