Correct me if I am wrong but the 3 ways to reduce pressure are
1) Less Powder
2) Less crimp, and
3) Seat bullet out further
Now if I use less crimp and push the bullet out further over the same powder charge, I should get about the same velocity, right? I have a .357 Max Contender with 180 grain XTP's over 18 grain of H110 that I was having problems breaking the gun open with. Like an excessive pressure problem. Just wanted to make sure that I was going about this the right way to reduce the internal pressures. Thanks
