[QUOTE="Tcox, post: 2863862, member: 10058"] Hey crew, I picked up some Berger hybrids and will start load development again. I have a 6.5 creedmoor built on a LONG action, therefore mag length doesn't exist to me. Here begs the question: how far into the lands can I safely seat? It seems that the further out I seat, the more case capacity I gain, right? On a dummy case, I loaded all the way out to 2.950 (0.150 longer than specs) and even out this far, my projectile is not being pushed into the case any measurable amount. There is also no additional resistance when closing the bolt. Other than potential pressure from the projectile contacting the lands, is there any reason that I couldn't load this far out or longer?
