[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 225884, member: 1403"] I dont think theres a problem with your load. 64.5g with a long 208g AMAX seated to SAAMI, OAL will give you the results your seeing. A compressed load is not a bad thing. If you look through the Nosler guides, they have the loading density right there and A LOT of cartridges with bullets/powders will give slightly compressed or really compressed loads. USually anything around 95% or above loading density will result in a slightly or compressed load. So much that you have to use a 6" drop tube to get all the powder in the case. This is usually due to slower burning powders. Its not dangerous if your using the right powder/bullet combo. An example that I have is a .243 w/55g bullets using H-380 powder. I dont even weigh the charges. I literally fill the powder to the very top, scrape off the top and seat a bullet. That is a very compressed load, but still within specs for that given bullet/powder.
