So I ran out of varget and have 4064 which I use for 6.5x55, I am shooting 168 Amax coal is 2.800
so here is my question
in the 308 case I am using 43.5 grains of IMR 4064 and the powder comes almost to the top of the case, when I tap the cartridge it drops some but not much, I seat the bullet and the powder is compressed, is this ok? it seems to be a lot of powder in the case; or is it because its a slower burning powder, that this is not over pressure. I see max load is 45 grains, can't see it fitting in the cartridge.
