Default RE: Question about the Lyman GPH

ORIGINAL: smokpole

I read somewhere that when using the hotter caps, the "explosion" from the cap will actually advance the powder charge and bullet a short distance b/f the powder is actually ignited. This prevents the next load from being seated firmly against the breach, causing accuracy problems and other issues.

Does this only apply to pelletized powder or am I completely off on this?
This "occurrence" you have heard about is related to the use of the 209 primers in the modern inlines more so then when using a #11 cap. There is speculaton that in some cases, the ignition of the 209 primer has so much force in and of itself that there is a possibility it moves the powder charge and projectile off the breech plug. I feel there isno need worry about any of that with #11 caps.
