[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 891722, member: 10755"] IMHO, you would have to be well above 110% capacity for there to be any real danger of the bullets backing out over time. Your best bet is to 'swirl' the powder charge into the case by pouring the charge with a funnel held at an angle so the powder swirls around the axis of the funnel, it should look like water going down a drain plug and be one continuous stream of powder. If you compare an as dumped charge against one poured like this you will see a substantial difference in the height of the powder, no need for a long drop tube or tapping of the case. I can guarantee that this technique will also give you low ES and SD numbers because the packing scheme will be uniform betwwen rounds, unlike as dumped charges where the packing scheme varies, as you found out with your differing seating heights. Hope this eases your anxiety about compressed charges, I have beenndoing this for quite a few years in my comp guns with some dense powders and it works a treat. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
