[QUOTE="Taylorbok, post: 2784516, member: 118538"] fill % is going to depend how deep you have that bullet seated into the case. I usually seat them so boat tail junction is above the neck/shoulder junction so there's some extra room there. Quick load can calculate it. I just fill it with powder until its up to neck/ shoulder junction weigh that and then subtract a couple grains to estimate 100% fill. Once the powder starts crunching it's not like you are going to be able to jam in a bunch more powder. I don't normally run compressed loads but I've fireformed with some less than ideal powder using compressed loads. [/QUOTE]
