[QUOTE="pig ranch deadeye, post: 2119545, member: 86978"] Here is a trick I came up with to avoid over-crunching the powder on compressed loads. When you can observe that the powder will poke down into the powder in a compressed-load situation, this is not good. The bullet smashing down into the prowder over-crunches the grains, breaking up the grains into sand instead of pebbles. So I finish the bullet seating by using the LEE loader and do the final seating using the Lee loader upside down. With this approach the bullet, instead of smashing down into the powder and destroying the grain structure, lifts up the entire powder column. The top of the powder column presses against the inside of the case head, compressing the entire column. Whatever space there is settles in around the bullet. This is better. [/QUOTE]
