[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1445743, member: 12995"] [B]DO NOT[/B] load anything near a max load with the bullets jammed into the lands. That creates pressure-spikes and is asking for trouble. When forming brass, seat the bullets jammed into the lands that way the case is firmly being held against the lead and against the bolt face. But always run a book starting load. NEVER run more than a book starting load when fire-forming brass. I don't care who tells you that's good practice, but it's not, and it's asking for trouble. The pressure spikes can also crack the necks of your brass and ruin them, which then becomes a complete waste of time, effort, and money. [/QUOTE]
