[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2356056, member: 101482"] Sort of... Room in the mag is important, but don't jam the bullet into the rifling. That can make problems in a hunting rifle (if you extract the case and the bullet stays in the rifling, dumping powder into your action and also blocking your chamber). Also, you are correct, the extra case capacity from having the bullet not as far in the case can add volume for more powder, thus a potential increase in velocity. But it would require more powder. Simply seating the bullet out farther wouldn't give a velocity increase (unless you are jamming the bullet into the rifling). I'm sure that you know both of those things, but I just wanted to clarify for the less experienced reloader 🙂 [/QUOTE]
