[QUOTE="sewwhat89, post: 107294, member: 4587"] As far as compressed loads go, be very careful for the reasons Bart mentioned, but also take head of my experience this year. On two occasions, one with .270 Win and H1000 and another time with .338 WM with H4350, I had compressed loads that under recoil of a fired round, the compressed powder bulged the primer out of the pocket a couple thousandths. The primer is now exposed on the sides, and the rounds will not chamber. This could have been, no it WAS a very dangerous situation. I got lucky, but you may not. Just try a slightly faster burning powder until you get 95-100 percent case capacity. Safer and you will be using less powder, i.e. more bang for your buck - literally!
