[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1709334, member: 3728"] That sounds plausible. Years ago, Kopak was used to pack down powder in the case on light loads used for low velocity loads. I tried using Kopak and saw pressures go though the roof. The idea on the Kopak was to keep the powder back against the primer to eliminate hang fires. I have never crimped a centerfire rifle round, but I am very aware of the pressure used to seat a bullet, also....too light...too heavy....they should be about the same. [/QUOTE]
