Good question. I would say within some limitations it could. If a round were loaded to an extremly short OAL it's got a long way to go before it hits the forcing cone and rifiling. Lots of blowby around the bullet on it's way to the forcing cone. It may still be stabilized by the rifiling and have no effect. I bet there's someone on this forum that's done some testing with this!

well I just did some testing with my ruger bisley 45 colt.
I loaded some 250gr hardcast with 9.5gr of titegroup I seated the bullets out as far as I could and still fit in the cylinder and then I seated the rest of them down until they were at the correct seating depth I loaded 6 round of each dif seating depth.
I started shooting with the ones seated at the normal seating depth and so on what I found out was that bullet seating did make a dif
they got worse the farther the bullets were seated out and vel got slower to :eek:
