[QUOTE="LewisH, post: 195607, member: 8507"] Yes, that's a well know technique known as a "jam fit." It's used to ensure proper ignition when fire forming "improved" cases from the parent case, and it indicates the max. loaded length for that bullet/chamber. Some loads may actually shoot best that way; but it does increase pressure, and the bullet often sticks in the lands when you extract an unfired cartridge (spilling powder throughout the receiver). :mad: [/QUOTE]
