[QUOTE="jlvandersnick, post: 1329142, member: 40932"] What are the potential problems with a slightly compressed load? Details: 7mm RM, Norma brass fired 1x, FL resized with .002 shoulder bump, .0015 nk tension, 68.4 H 1000, Fed 215, 180 berger VLD, bullet seated .035 out from lands, about 2930 FPS, no pressure signs Seating dept test showed .035 out to be the most accurate ...but the loaded cartridge seems to be slightly compressed. A second question. The best load with the same gun, NEW brass, is 69.1 H 1000 with a seating depth of .010 into lands. Velocity here is about 2965 FPS Is it fairly common for loads with new brass versus fired brass to favor different seating depths? Thanks Jerry [/QUOTE]
