[QUOTE="britz, post: 207193, member: 7865"] I agree w/ Edd and JWP in saying that seating to the lands can and will raise pressure. Allowing the bullet a "jump start" prior to hitting the lands can possibly reduce the pressure. HOWEVER!!! you shouldn't ever start loading with a hot charge. If you are already at minimum charge than think about seating deeper, but if not, pull the bullets and lower the charge. The best thing you can do is to purchase a good reloading manual and read the reloading procedures several times until you can recite and explain them to a novice yourself. We could use a little more information to help you farther such as case prep steps, primers, powder distance from the lands... [/QUOTE]
