I would have to say the bullets are very tight before crimping, I haven't put a mic. on them but after seating the bullet, you can see a pronounced bulge in the case caused by the bullet.
The thing that is bothering me most at this time is the drastic difference felt in the recoil from the same gun with the what I see as a minor increase in load Velocity, I mean going from 817 FPS to 862 FPS which is a mear 45 FPS would generate such a pronounced difference in felt recoil, plus point of impact went completely wild.
Both of these loads are within the 14,000 PSI acording to the Hodgdon manual and are both stated as max for the CAS.

I know that a weapons weight will affect the noticeable recoil, and I fully expected a little bit of an increase but no where what I got.

All I am trying to accomplish here is a load that I can shoot accurately out to reasonable handgun ranges that will take a deer in Mo. and stop a perp from hurting my family.
