[QUOTE="FatOldMIHunter, post: 1809287, member: 104844"] There's a minimum spec for a reason. I can't seat some bullets close enough to the lands for a short jump without having the seating depth dangerously short. Cases that are .015" short are short enough to be an issue. In addition to that, some of the short bullets leave the case so quickly that some powder sneaks out and burns along the neck and body before the case has time to expand. It might only be microseconds or nanoseconds, but it's enough to blacken the sides of the case. I can't load anything shorter than a 120 gr Barnes TTSX in the Lapua brass. [/QUOTE]
