Seating a bullet to touch or enter the lands will raise pressure significantly higher than a bullet that is allowed to travel - jump, if you will - a short distance before contacting the lands.

OTOH, seating a bullet deeper into a case will reduce internal volume and also cause an increase in pressure.

Here is a link to an article written for Berger Bullets, one of the makers who cater to precision shooter. Read the article but pay attention to the text under figure 2 and the summary a little farther down.

Doubs,

An excellent article, though mostly a review for me.

Thank you kindly for attaching it.


Respectfully.
