[QUOTE="smokin502, post: 1381989, member: 31897"] I have been reloading for about 5yrs or so and started playing around with seating depth for my 300wm. I used a 230g berger vld seated 10 rounds to the saami specs. Then 10 rounds seated to .020 from the lands. Same bullet, same powder and weight, same everything. Tested both rounds and the .020 from the lands on average was 140fps faster. So my question is how? I've been told by extending it out further would lower pressures thus maybe being able to add more powder to increase fps with the same pressures. I'm I that far off here? Thanks for any help on this [/QUOTE]
