I went up to 49 in Hornady without excessive compression but I'm loading to 2.825. Settled on 47.2 grains. Starline is known to have a little less capacity. One thing I've done in the past with other full cases is to use an electric toothbrush on the brass to settle the load or a drop tube. I've not had to do either with the Hornady.I was doing some case capacity checking this morning (unfired cases new) and was getting 50 grains capacity for the Starline LRP brass. I think this is a little on the low side. Most what I seen being reported is around 52.2 or 52.5 grains I believe. I have to check some other brands of brass I have and see what they are. This also makes a little more cense on the lower amount of RL26 is was seeing and how far it was filling the case.. I've seen or read alot of post where people are loading above 47 grains and I was so far up in the neck I stopped at 46 grains. I am also seated at 2.810 with excessive compression. I'll shoot these and see if the capacity changes but if not them I might go to RL17 so I'm not compressing the powders so much.
Why 2.810?I was doing some case capacity checking this morning (unfired cases new) and was getting 50 grains capacity for the Starline LRP brass. I think this is a little on the low side.

You'll never get enough rl-26 in the case to be beneficial with those light bullets. You need to step up to 140s really if you want to use rl-26 and get any speed benefitsI really like the Hammer Hunters for my hunting application, does anyone have R 26, data for the 124 HH? or the 99 HH?
Ya, won't work. I used RL16 for the 124, H4350 would work decent too.I really like the Hammer Hunters for my hunting application, does anyone have R 26, data for the 124 HH? or the 99 HH?
