GF1,

What's a "very small amount of compression"? Where about in the case is that weight of powder filled to?

That's a long bullet that takes up a lot of case volume, depending on COAL............what COAL are you loading those to?

MM


Sorry for the late reply. The powder is about even with the base of the neck, Lapua brass. I feel just a little compression as I seat the bullets. COAL is 3.344”, which is about maximum length for the magazine length of my FN Mauser barreled action with custom stock.
