[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1343107, member: 1521"] This is true, I've seen it for my 40yrs of reloading as well. I've also seen pretty much any communication about Bergers including assumed jam or ITL seating relationships, for most of this time. But there was never any basis for these notions, as testing showed me, and by now everyone should concede that Berger VLD seating 'requirement' notions were dead wrong.. Full seating testing(Berger's or otherwise), is NOT what most shooters were ever doing in the past, and applies to any & all bullets(not just Bergers). It's not really a chicken or the egg situation. When you properly do full seating testing, you usually see way more opening/closing than any amount of powder adjustment can cause. This is because bullet seating is the coarse adjustment, and powder is the fine adjustment. With anything calibrated, we adjust coarse 1st, then fine. [/QUOTE]
