[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1149850, member: 1521"] This is what I prefer, but the best load will decide. Some cartridges sing with higher pressures, and if best seating is OTL then higher tension than minimum may be needed to reach best pressure. But never excessive, and variances should be managed with minimal sizing adjusted by length of sizing(rather than diameter). There is a lot of hoohah about annealing as though it's just been discovered and something everyone must do.. This reduces tension/variance of tension(provided perfect process annealing), while affecting seating forces separately, and again the best load will decide. As far as effective distance to land relationship on chambered striking, this is managed with a plan. Cartridges should be chosen/formed for 30deg+ shoulder angles, and headspace kept no more than 2thou. The striking should be set correctly (not excessive) and primers should be seated to ~3thou of crush. It's choices within our control. Mine are exactly controlled. [/QUOTE]
