[QUOTE="huffmanite, post: 680773, member: 26864"] Been using TB for several years now. Heck I can remember phoning IMR about using TB in a .308 or 30-06 with cast bullets and being told absolutely NOT to do it. Why? Answer given me was powder had some unique burn characteristics and was safe to use only in straight case cartridges.....that using it in a bottle neck cartridge like a 308 or 30-06 could cause a potential pressure problem. Forget about using a jacketed bullet back then with TB. LOL, now IMR/Hodgdon says it can be used safely at 100% load density in any cartridge (with either cast or jacketed bullets) and it will not exceed the SAAMI pressure specs for it. However, the use of a filler or compressing TB, as I understand, is not something IMR/Hodgdon would recommend. Suggest you contact IMR and consult them. [/QUOTE]
