[QUOTE="Blackbullet, post: 5053140, member: 21644"] I run 65 gr N570 in a 6.5 saum. I don't have quick load but quick load would tell you it's a compressed load. If I fill the case with a regular funnel, it will fill it almost to the mouth of the case. If I fill it with a funnel with a 6" extension tube out of the bottom of the funnel, it settles way down farther into the case. Not hardly any crunch at all when seating a bullet. I run a highly compressed load in another cartridge, compressed even after filling with a long drop tube funnel. Power is way slow for the cartridge I run it in. But it works. The draw back is this: after time it pushes the bullet back out of the case a little. So, I only load enough to hunt with over a season. But it is a good bit more than 103% compressed. Where ever you got your 103% figure from..... That is based off of a certain brand of brass and bullet being seated to a saami standard cartridge overall length. So all of that being said..... You may be more or less than 103% compressed depending on what brass you are using and how deep you seat your bullets. [/QUOTE]
