[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2118454, member: 68758"] This. I skipped to the last page of the thread- and this was my thought when I read the initial post. Similar thread recently- keep in mind that your throat is gonna erode- and since you seem to like to load hot (your entire reason for doing this is more velocity), that only exacerbates it. How much have you already increased your COAL chasing the lands? If you throat long based on the bullet being seated as far out as practical, and your optimal jump- you're essentially done. No more room to chase them- your jump will only increase. It's one thing to throat longer in order to use heavier bullets, or changing ogive types that requires it- but you're chasing a hypothetical. There's no guarantee that increasing your case capacity slightly will increase your velocity- and it could potentially be less accurate. I've rarely found the hottest/fastest load to be the one I end up with. [/QUOTE]
