I have never paid much attention to COAL in the past because several of my rifles had long enough throats that seating just off the lands produced a cartridge too long for the magazine. I did mess around with some Barnes 160 TSX in a 7mm Rem Mag and found that I could get over 100 fps more out of it with the same powder charge if I seated it about .03 off the lands of my M70. Accuracy also improved for this load.
