[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2868024, member: 75451"] I started to mention that, but a lot of folks avoid heavily compressed loads. Quite a few years ago, I was using RL 19 (96.5 grains) under a 270 grain Barnes TSX….which I had a lot of and wanted a slower powder for the load! Using a drop tube, the tapping lightly on the case before lifting the drop tube, left the powder level “just below” the case mouth! 🤔 The first time I seated a bullet…..I bulged the case! 🙀 NOW THAT’S a COMPRESSED LOAD! 😂 I quickly learned to seat the bullet ”very slowly“ and it could be done! 😉 Though in retrospect…..I don’t recommend the practice! 😁 memtb [/QUOTE]
