[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 836907, member: 5219"] LongrangehunterII put 48 gr fitting the case near the shoulder. If you put the same amount in your case how full does it get? Not knowing that answer yet but thinking of possibilities: Are you are using different brand case than the case Lyman used? (Military cases have a smaller internal capacity) Are you using a drop tube? Perhaps your balance beam scale is not correct. I would use a known weighted object and then set balance beam scale to that value and see if it balances. You must rule out the scale. Then drop the powder through at least a 4"or longer tube into case. I have encountered some difficulty with powder not fitting a case in the past. I have also compressed my share of powders. As long as the bullet doesn't move after seating you will be fine. Get a precise measurement of a loaded round then measure it again a few days later. I have seen bullets relocate for a longer OAL with heavily compressed loads. Do some more tests and share your results here. I am interested in all the facts. Lets see if you can solve this issue.
