[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1142548, member: 39764"] I'd have to agree with Bart. What diff does an off center flash hole make? Unless the case is loaded to full capacity with the pill seated, when the cartridge is in the chamber, the powder that occupies the space between the end of the pill and the cartridge base can be laying at any angle, dependent on how it's settled., or how the rifle is shouldered. Lets use a partially full saltshaker... Lay it on it's side and observe the salt. Unless you shake it around in that position, the salt isn't laying parallel to the plane the shaker is in..... Same scenario applies unless... The cartridge is filled at 100% capacity and the pill insertion 'compresses' the charge, then the charge is stationary but only in that case. Most cartridges are not loaded to 100% capacity. In my experience, most handloads shoot tighter groups at less than a compressed charge state. [/QUOTE]
