no i don't ever load to max loads. By going by the specs in the hornady manual, it puts the base of the bullet well below the neck of the case which seems to low to me. I think ill re-do it and put it out the length of the rest of my 7.62x54 ammo or at least close to it. 2.855" just seems to low.
Would the pressure of the case get higher if the bullet was seated higher or lower?
