[QUOTE="NATE40, post: 1130248, member: 33416"] I'm a reloader of course I chronograph my loads over and over with I reload Tuesday Thursday and Saturday I shoot Monday Wednesday and Sunday all year round religiously. Being retired Army at a young age and living in Wyoming gives me that opportunity. I will agree that a bullet seated too far into the lands will increase pressure even with light loads but once the resistance of the lands is removed muzzle velocity and powder capacity will safety increase. Working loads above book max and reducing pressure is the goal in tuning my rifles. A book maximum load is set to the book minimum seating depth increasing the seating depth reduces pressure just like seating a bullet deeper with the maximum load will increase pressure that's why the book seating oal is set to minimum seating not maximum seating depth. This is my opinion and by no means will dismiss your recommendation and will openly test what you are saying as I'm loading for my 6.5 creedmoor tonight I'll let you know what I find if you want. I'm not trying to belittle anything your saying and I will always be willing to learn new things about reloading as I'm not quitting soon and I'll admit I am always learning.and appreciate any tips [/QUOTE]
