[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2082957, member: 2939"] When choosing a load to test, keep in mind that seating depths can make a HUGE difference in pressure. Remember that seating bullets into the lands can raise pressures but moving 0.020″ or more AWAY from the lands can also raise pressures, because you are reducing the effective case capacity. I came across this while trying to figure out why I was popping some primers in my 308 loads even when I was 5 grains under the listed max and I thought that by making a longer jump to the rifling would be a way to decrease the pressure over pulling the bullets and reloading at an even lower level of powder. Load length of 2.740 so they will fit in clips with a max of 2.760. I made them 2.700 [/QUOTE]
