[QUOTE="bill123, post: 951030, member: 69116"] Ok, I did a dumb thing today. I am working up a load for 155.5 Berger Fullbores. I loaded the bullets to .015" off the lands but found when I got to the range, I had to feed the cartridges by hand because they were greater than the magazine length. I found a good node, came back, measured the mag. length and found that in order to magazine feed, I need a jump of at least .066" Is all of my data wasted? I assume that I can't just load to .066" jump without a pressure spike. Should I start over or should I back down progressively from .015" jump until I'm in the Berger recommended seating test sequence (and below mag length): .010 off the lands .050 off the lands .090 off the lands .130 off the lands [/QUOTE]
