[QUOTE="CA48, post: 2021427, member: 21446"] Generally no it’s not but Steve stated in Sept when they did initial testing that due to engraving pressure being reduced with their new design it takes more powder to reach pressure and that may cause you to run out of case capacity before you can pressure out. Therefore with this new design it may require you to load with powders that have a faster burn rate than normal for a given bullet/cartridge combo. I experienced this with my 25SST. With the old 92gr HH I saw bolt lift at 62gr of rl26 running 3736. With the new 90gr AH’s I ran up to 69gr of rl26 at 3980. Never ran into any bolt lift but was out of room for powder. So I dropped to H4350 and saw bolt lift at 3977 at about 95% case fill. So I still had good velocity with RL26 but the case fill was much better with h4350 so your not having to use a drop tube or vibrate the case to settle powder. Then again varget may yet still be to fast I just thought it might be worth testing. [/QUOTE]
