[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1329225, member: 30902"] It all depends on the powder. Slow powders don't seem to mind at all. Faster burning powders can reach overpressure very quickly when compressed. Stick to known safe loads from reliable data sources and compressed or not you should do just fine. With compressed loads though you really need to crimp the neck to ensure the bullets don't walk. If they walk from the pent up pressure then you won't get a consistent burn rate. Without a consistent burn rate you can't get good, consistent accuracy. WR [/QUOTE]
