[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5031711, member: 18110"] Thanks for the info daveb. I thought the 103 percent of case capacity was based on case capacity with that bullet seated to their specs. Where I get lost...if you had a short throated chamber, and had to seat deeper, then obviously that same charge would take up more than 103 percent of it. Likewise, the same bullet seated longer would increase the capacity, thus reducing the percentage of used case capacity. Maybe I'm not explaining my confusion clearly. EXAMPLE would be..a gallon of water is a less percentage in a swimming pool than it would be in a thimble. That is a gross exaggeration..but shows my question. Unless you are saying the 103 percent is of max pressure..which is not my understanding. I'm not trying to do anything other than to understand. I have no loads in mind, nor am I trying to do anything that's not a listed load. With all of my loads, I start low and work up. I almost always never push to published max anyway. I was just curious how you were supposed to get that extra powder in there to compress. (Under my old assumption that it was capacity without a bullet seated). [/QUOTE]
