If you seat the bullet out a bit further the pressures will drop but so will the velocities. The trick is finding that "sweet spot" where the pressure peak is lower but you do not lose too much velocity.
Have you seen those pressure verus bullet/barrel travel plots that you can generate with QuickLoad? You are trying to lower the peak but spread it out over a longer period of time... If you move the bullet out too far the velocity will drop off.
I hope I have explained it clearly. They say a picture is worth a thousand word
