Ah, to respond to DD, yep, you nailed it. A case full of powder, lightly compressed, under a proper bullet with the correct lube. And yes, I clean the guns after the match when I get home.
To address the side issue: I use a full case of powder, under a .454 250+ grain bullet, and the case seals my chamber (Marlin 94 or Uberti Henry) just fine. Though I usually use the S&W case to save a bit of powder. A DD PRS bullet, btw. 3F in the shorter case.
