[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 2451760, member: 90080"] It will usually increase pressure. I will drop back about 2 grains and redo a small pressure test @ .3 gr per load. I am looking for a charge weight that will expand the case fully, but doesn't show excessive pressure. I am checking base to datum measurements to find a load that needs a shoulder bump after second firing. I'll use that charge weight to load up the rest of the cases. I also use second firing to do a rough seating depth, as they are really close to fully formed and no sense in wasting components. [/QUOTE]
