	I'm still very new to this breech seating idea but the results are really promising. I'm working on a load that is 79.2 gr right now. There is still a lot to explore though.

	Aahhh, but bottleneck cartridges and compression is another thing entirely! It is pretty hard to get uniform compression in a BN case, for obvious reasons... And the only interesting parameter to strive for is accuracy, regardless of compression, seating depth, neck tension and whatnot.

	Amen to the comments on BN cases and compression. Am using 3x0.060" wads in my light loads (56gr of 1 1/2F Swiss) in order to get any compression at all with my 38-56. If I go with less powder there is no compression and the wad on the powder can be below the neck. BNs can be a PITA.
