Start pressure in quickload for small jump?

When checking loads on quickload I was wondering what do you use for start pressure if it is only just jumping or jamming, say .005?
I realise you add a certain about if you are into the lands, but how much to add if you are in between?
 
A small jump is still a jump IMO. Just use the default value. To be sure, go to the distributor, NECO and talk to Ed Dillon. (800) 451-3550.
I have personally found that if you get his VM, calling back later is more effective than leaving a message.
 
Any jump I use the default 3625psi

Kissing Lands I use 5,000psi

0.010" Jam I use 5,500psi

0.015"- Jam I use 7,000psi

0.020" Jam I use 8,000 psi

This is what I do and it's not right nor wrong.

I use QL only as a guide and far from any gospel, not unlike any reloading data in books or the net.

Primer pockets show the initial start pressures are high . I said 5000 psi and got told I was wrong . I just consider the source .
Good job Larry
