I try to avoid compressed loads.i don't like inconsistent bullet seating depth period
I now use a drop tube if needed but Im not crushing much powder at all if I can help it.just not the loads I'm looking for

If I measure any inconsistent load length measuring off ogive I'm out.wont fool with that load anymore


I have always found loads in the 90-95% full to be most accurate.long time knowledge also by many

There's nodes every few grains of powder no need to compromise bullets seating depth adding inconsistencies or other powder bullet combo that work fine.just doesn't make sense to me

My chronos tell me soooooo I don't listen to anything else.maybe I'm over 100% idk but my bullet seating depths are consistent and I'm finding max at initial load development soon there's that maybe just my way it works for me
