if you use preloaded pellets and there get broken like if you smash them will this throw off your accuracy?if the bullet doesnt get all the way seated on the powder what will be the result these are serious need to knows thanks guys
Of your two question the bigger problem exists if you do not get the bullet seated on the pellets. You really do not want an air space between powder and projectile, so it is 'important' to seat the projectile on the powder.

'Crushing' there are some pellets out there that advise you to crush them. 'Crushing' can have an effect on accuracy... anytime you load slightly differently you may see a change in POI, usually not a major change if you are close to being uniform.

Of the two options it is safer to 'crush' than to 'not seat' the projectile.
