George,
I would have to disagree with you on this one, but only on one point. If you seated the bullet .10" deeper, what does this do to the internal pressures of the round in question. Would it be similar to adding .10" more powder? Cartridge pressure is a tricky thing and I would rather be safe than sorry. On the other hand, you could always try it and then fire the rifle from long distance with a very long rope on the trigger. If it blows up, at least you're still safe. Jim
