[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 996661, member: 41122"] I like compressed loads and my experience with 4350 in the 08 case shows that it likes it. If youre not getting definite pressure signs i would not hesitate to load past 48gns. With your increase case volume and seating the bullet out further your gonna burn a bit more powder than a standard 7/08 case. My go to load for my 308 is 48 gns of 4350 under a 215 berger and i get a slight crunch seating every bullet. This load consistently shoots 1/4-1/2 moa out to 1200 yds. Ive shot this load from 40 deg f to 98 deg f and no pressure spikes. In testing i shot up to 49.5 gns of 4350 which was heavily compressed. But still had no pressure signs. It was so compressed my seating stem was leaving rings around my bullets. Just creep up on it and pay close attention to your primers, case heads and velocities when you think youre getting hot, stop. [/QUOTE]
