So I cleaned up, resized and trimmed about 1k once fired LC general surplus brass. No LR brass or match brass just the run of the mill LC brass. Wanting to shoot F Class, so I thought I’d start working on a load. Did a lot of research on this site, and others. Even bought a book about reloading NATO brass by Stephen Redgwell (the 303 guro). Bottom line what I’ve found is this formal for a match round.

NATO brass
43.1 Grains RL-15
175 SMK
BR primer.


That’s all well but my computer shows that to be a compressed load and Redgwell says anything over 40 is a compressed load in NATO brass. Any input would be helpful.
