[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 909263, member: 30902"] Which will tend to produce higher pressures because of all the surface area. Like I said though, no pressure signs, no worries! I don't know how true it is but a friend of mine with about 50 years of reloading experience told me once the advantage to compressed loads is that as a rule ignition is slower and you get more burning down the barrel than in the chamber/case and as a result you get lower pressures. I've always though tried to ensure I had at least 2-3% of my case capacity remaining. Of course back then I was using faster burning powders for the most part... . I also learned the hard way that a case not filled enough can cause extreme pressure problems in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
