[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1436201, member: 10755"] Thanks to all who replied. This is exactly what I thought, 2 meanings for the same phrase. I have heard people here, and elsewhere, say they load their bullets with the ‘pressure ring’ above the neck/shoulder juncture, which is where my query stems from. I was perusing an old gun rag and in the same issue were 2 articles discussing totally different things, one was discussing resizing brass and the things to look for; the pressure ring above the web. The other article referred to the driving band on AA ammunition as being similar to the pressure ring on some comp bullets, which I believe are totally different to each other in reallity. I have not to this date used a bullet with a pressure ring as far as I know, Sierra, Nosler & Berger are the only brands I’ve used, if they have one, it is news to me. I know certain Woodleigh DG bullets have the bottom third at proper diameter while the shank above this is .0015” smaller, this is to reduce friction allowing top velocity with less pressure. Thanks again. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
