[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2728256, member: 116181"] Not with the correct powder choice. Make the wrong powder choice with a reduced charge and you've accidentally turned your chamber into a bomb that your face will be snuggled up to, but with powders designed for the useage it's perfectly safe. Like Dean said Trail Boss is specifically designed to have much higher case fill %s than a standard powder, it gets that by being donut shaped and having a lot of surface area for it's volume. It's a great powder but impossible to find lately. The good news is a can lasts a very long time once you get one. Titegroup is designed to be loaded in low charge weights in large pistol cases and not have a problem with primer flash along the side of the powder column, kind of a pistol-equivalent of H4895. 223 Rem is a small case so there must be similar internal ballistics to 45 Long Colt for Hodgson to recommend it. Clays is a flake shotgun powder that worked out really well in larger pistol cases also, so probably same as Titegroup it happens to work well in the 223 case capacity range and will burn well enough in super low pressure loads like these and large case reduced pistol loads. They only recommend Trail Boss for 243 Win, 30-30, 45-70 because of the larger case volume those have versus what's being pushed. H4895 can almost always reduce a rifle load, but not necessarily to subsonic. It'll work in 308 Win with a heavy bullet, but 6mm stops at 115gn bullet weights so it won't slow you down enough there to be subsonic. [/QUOTE]
