Those charges were suggested by Quick Loads or taken from the Hodgdon manual and were near max. That has me in a bit of a quandary considering the low velocities I recorded. I will be trying some heavier charges of some of the powders I've tried. Based on what I've seen from AA2495 I won't be able to get enough of it in a case to get anywhere near the predicted Quick Load velocities. Same for H4895. I am trying some heavier loads of BL-C2, H322 IMR 3031 and Benchmark, watching carefully for pressure indications.
As I mentioned before I don't know how Fadala got 27 grains of BL-C2 and an 80 grain bullet in the same case. I don't think I'd be comfortable compressing a load that much and don't know if BL-C2 would allow that much compression. It's a pretty dense powder. It fills an LC 83 or Sako case to the top of the case mouth.
I'll know more tomorrow I guess. That's part of the fun, and some times frustration of working with wildcats.
