[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2369502, member: 113404"] I fully intended to crimp the 120HH in my 7-08 loads, except all the PDR grooves are in the case neck. My rifle has a shorter throat which leaves the "just of the lands" at 2.700" COAL. Dang, I was so excited to have a magazine length of 2.825 too, but them bummed when I discovered the short throat. I wanted to load them longer. They are printing MOA and sub minute with a few powders, so I'm not complaining. Don't know what my neck tension is, but sizing down 308 Lapua brass to 7-08, and alcohol swabbing inside the necks, the HH seat tighter than any other bullet I've seated to date. As it was explained to me and made sense, the tight neck tension and crimp is to give the powder more burn/dwell time for all the powder to get ignited and none wasted out the tube. [/QUOTE]
