[QUOTE="trebark, post: 989304, member: 19172"] Compressed loads with H1000 and Retumbo are not a big issue. For my 7saum, I load 110% loads of retumbo and my buddy with a 7saum does the same (our powder charges are different because my rifle is a long-action and therefore bullets seated waaay out and his is on a short action so he is constrained to mag length). Regardless, QL tells us that our charges are 110% loads. We actually think that a compressed load produces a lower ES. Like any load development, start on the lower end and work your way up. jboscobuys offers a good piece of advice in that you should watch for typical pressure signs like ejector marks and stiff bolt lift but also use a chrono (you should ALWAYS use a chrono in load development) to monitor velocities and see how your real world velocities match up with QL data.
