[QUOTE="sewwhat89, post: 88675, member: 4587"] I understand about the pressure spike with the lands and all, but I am playing with Berger's. Everyone I have spoken with says they need/like 0.005" into the lands. That's what I did with the 190s, and they shoot great. The problem is when I loaded the 175s the same way, they are only seated about 0.1" into the case. You cannot budge them, but I was afraid that was too little neck tension; however, they too shot very well if not better than the 190s. I have not finished my load selection just yet, but with the bullet touching the lands like they currently are, I am already 2 gr over the max listed and still no signs of any pressure. Most sources list 76 to 76.9 gr of RL 22 for the 180 gr class, and I have shot 78.5 with the 190s at 3100 fps. No flattening of the primer or anything. I would have to go 80 gr to get them compressed and maybe not even then. I guess I'll use my other die and seat some down to mag-length and see what happens with milder loads and work up again. Maybe I'll find something even better. Thanks for the info 4ked [/QUOTE]
