Sam, Could you do me a favor and double-check your case length. With a coal of 3.646, I'm getting a negative shank seat depth from quikload using the standard 30-06 case length of 2.494. If your cases are this length, then you don't have the billet seated deeply enough at 3.646... At least by quikload's figures. The longest cartridge length for a case length of 2.494, is 3.600.
If you could do me the kindness of confirming your powder charge and case length, it would be ver helpful.
Thanks.

Sam... Congrats on the newest boy. You're a lot braver than me. One boy 14 and two daughters that are all grown up. They were hers 8 years ago, but we've managed to get them to be ours. Was rough for a while but tons of patience, love and hitting my head against the wall in private... and my wife and I both won over the others children. We feel very lucky as it doesn't always work out like that! But she and I both agree... No more babies! Lol. Hence the brave comment!!!
So... Here's your loadout! Good luck and everything looks good. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

wow, I figured that by seating the bullet further into the case. That I wouldn't be able to have as much of a powder charge, but by this info that is not the case.
