[QUOTE="glassman, post: 205462, member: 6503"] Here are my thoughts on this: A heavy neck tension will give you more pressure, hence [B]more [/B]velocity. So if you lighten the neck tension, then you have less pressure, so hence [B]less [/B]velocity. If it was me, I would go up in 1 gr increments instead of 1/2. A 1/2 gr increase is not really going to show you much on a big casings. If on a smaller casing such as a 22-250, then 1/2 gr jumps are the best. I can't really tell you anything about the cal., but just keep watching for the pressure signs...checking the headspace as you go along and watching the primers. When I got into shooting moly bullets, I found out a few things that needed to be done in order for them black bullets to shoot good. It was that I needed more neck tension, so I removed about 1 thousands from the expander ball and that was just enough to give good pressure and excellent accuracy. [/QUOTE]
