I have about .25" of empty case neck when I'm done charging the case with the Varget.
Yeah, that would be too full for me even without pressure signs. I've found that my Redding competition seating die doesn't get along with compressed loads too well. The loaded round runout goes up and the overall lengths (measured from case head to bullet ogive) become less consistent. In the RP cases 46 grains does best when I slow pour it in through a drop tube.
