[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1545756, member: 7539"] No problem, glad I could help. I wouldn't be using the 4831 on anything other than a larger capacity case with heavier bullets, that's where it shines. You didn't say what kind of cases you were using but your problem of getting well up into the neck could also be compounded if you're using a thicker case like military. Winchester I think makes the case with the most water volume right now so if you're really packing it in, it might be worth a look. Then again, if you're hitting the top end of pressures, you don't want a thin case either lol... you see it's not so easy to sort out. Lots of variables and everyone has opinions, but that's what makes it fun too. I think RL15 would be fine with some heavier bullets and lots and lots of people use it that way, but it also depends on other factors too, such as your seating and barrel length. Varget is just a little bit faster and it's highly used as well, you can't go wrong having some of it around anyway. Ps. I also have a TON of OLDER reloading manuals and powder manufacturer data too if anyone gets some ancient powder they want to try. Today's versions aren't always the same... pays to be sure.
