[QUOTE="Shooter00, post: 837773, member: 70388"] The rifle has nothing to do with it. I neglected to mention in my original question that the Barnes data calls for a COAL of 2.825 on this load. My COAL needs to be 2.930 to be .02" off the lands, but with all of that powder, I can only seat 2.945 which obviously isn't going to work. It doesn't fit and I'm wondering what Barnes did different. So I'm not a hack reloader, and I guess I didn't explain my method on this go round. I was merely putting powder in the cases starting from the high end and working down because that required the smallest adjustment on my powder measurer from what I had been running through previously. I was planning on throwing charges every half grain to cover the spread of the PUBLISHED data, not to exceed half a grain below the max. I had a feeling that I wouldn't have enough room for what the Barnes data was calling for on the high end, so as soon as I saw the issue, I stopped and made an effort to see what might be wrong. So Lefty, regarding my original question and not how you perceive my reloading methods; why does the Barnes data call for something that doesn't fit when all put together? And where exactly does significant volume magically appear from in a fired case? I guess I should just email Ty at Barnes and not waste my time on opinions. [/QUOTE]
