Just before the bullet would start moving.Now if the ammo sat 1 day and you set the bullet back .002" it would feel smooth and gradual.In other words the bullet could be actually bonding to the case a bit and making pressures and speeds increase.Just something to try out on some old loaded ammo.  I have no idea if 1 month or 6 months is long enough to test..But something to test.</blockquote>
