[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1329163, member: 38154"] Not familiar with your cartridge or the powder you are using, but my .340 Weatherby loads are compressed (using RL19), I can hear the powder crunching when seating the bullet. I have read that having a compressed load is more consistent than having a powder charge that doesn't fully fill the case. Depending on the position of the powder in the case when firing, you could possibly get variations in velocity. If your load is listed as safe in the loading data you are using, and you have slowly and safely worked up to that powder charge without any signs of excessive pressure, you should be good. Sorry, can't help with your second question. [/QUOTE]
