[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1522338, member: 12995"] NO! Do NOT use stout loads with jammed bullets, that's how you pressure spikes, and how you blow up your rifle. Use starting book loads, further reduced by about 5%, and THEN jam the bullet. Jamming is correct, but do not use more than a starting book load for the parent cartridge. As long as the bullet was jammed and the case head was seated properly agains the bolt face, the shoulder/neck junction and case walls will be mostly formed to give you proper headspace. The 2nd firing when you do load workup and development is when your shoulder angles will fully define to the chamber walls. [/QUOTE]
