[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2261213, member: 69478"] A lot of people believe compressed loads are better and more consistent than non compressed loads. In my opinion, experience, and observations, I don’t think it makes a difference unless you’re running a load that’s like 75% load density or something really light. In my personal .308 Norma my go to load with a 215gr Berger is using RL26 that’s about a 90% load density. It shoot extremely well and I don’t think shooting a slower power to get more load density could improve on it. Also, the benchrest and F-Class guys often shoot faster powders like H4350 in SAUM/WSM cases because the powder is just so accurate and consistent for them. H4350 in a 300 WSM isn’t a compressed load, yet it hammers for those guys. [/QUOTE]
