[QUOTE="CA48, post: 2268543, member: 21446"] I believe the biggest issue it can cause when tightly compressed is making the powder clump together causing powder bridging/ pressure spikes in some cases. It probably won’t happen if the loads are shot not to long after being loaded but if they set for a long period of time or in humid conditions the powder will clump. I’ve pulled Bullets and broken down loads for a guy that had loaded way to hot for his 300Norma and 338 Lapua with Retumbo. They had only been sitting a month or 2 and I had to stick a small screw driver inside the cases to break up the powder clumps just to get it out of the case. I myself use some compressed loads but I live in a very dry climate and my ammo always get shot shortly after being loaded most times. [/QUOTE]
