[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1461229, member: 30902"] I've done the same with longer barrels and slower powders. Unfortunately it took me better than 2 decades to figure that out. 20 years ago I utterly recoiled at the thought of even the mildest compressed load and through if I didn't have a 1/4 or more of the case unfilled I was doing something wrong. I had a friend, the guy who actually is responsible for making me a good shot and teaching me the basics of reloading who started running compressed loads of H-870 behind a 7mm 180gr partition that finally convinced me I was less likely to blow one up using that load than some of my shakers running much lighter bullets and powders like H380 and H414 in my 7mm RM. Homer has killed more elk and mule deer with that load than you could haul off in a Semi and is still shooting the same 700bdl 7mm RM he bought in 72 with literally dozens of kills at or beyond 800yds and that combo was flawless for him spanning 3 decades until finally he ran out of his last can of H870.
