Hey all,
First time poster, long time lurker. After reading all the positive reports about Burger VLD bullets I decided to give them a try. I've been realoading for 2yrs now and run in to a new situation. I shoot a Remington CDL 7mm Rem Mag. Most everything I've read suggest seating the bullet in contact with the lands. I loaded a dummy round and took some measurements. With the bullet .007 in the lands my COL is 3.468". The load data Walt Bereger emailed me uses a COL of 3.290". My question is how does this affect maximun load pressure? I would think .178" less volume taken up by the bullet would lessen the pressure. Is this correct?
