Reseating bullets

I no longer reply to these type of threads, but I will say, I have deliberately jammed bullets by .030" and never seen a rise in pressure enough to have what you describe…..not once.

but you do load develope for that though?

Nope.
Just did it to see if the BS about jamming a normal load from .010" off to .030" jammed did what was claimed. It did raise pressure, but not enough to be concerned with.
I have been jamming target bullets for 30 years, not once did I see a powder charge that needed significant reduction due to being jammed against a load touching or one .010" off.

Cheers.

Just saying you haven't experienced that particular situation doesn't give me any clue as to why it happened. I know there was no obstruction because the first thing I always do before I load the rifle for a new session is drop the bolt out and check chamber and muzzle. The literature from people that have a lot of experience in loading suggest that what happened is not that uncommon. I will NEVER do that again.

If that's thecase already, then no it isn't going to help like you stated.

My point was something else is at play here. The seating depth isn't enough to cause this issue.

The same as @MagnumManiac, I've gone from jump to jam on already hot loads and it doesn't make a big enough difference to cause a real issue.
