Hi,
I've loaded up some 243 LBC cartridges. 95 grain Nosler BT's and Hornady SST's with 32 and 32.2 grains of CFE 223.
I believe these loads are compressed. Is anyone else finding the same? No issues?

CFE is pretty mild. If squashed it quite a bit. Watch your chronograph for erratic numbers as ball powder doesn't like being crushed as the burn rate can change. I'd be looking at 8208 in that cartridge.

Looking at my notes I've shot some 70 Speers over 34.5 of CFE in the past with decent results. COL can be adjusted to lessen your compression depending on what you intend to do with the cartridge.

Thanks...so I shouldn't worry then. My COAL is 2.240 right now. I'm hoping the ground here in NY is dry enough for me to get out in the pasture of my buddies farm so I can try the rounds out this afternoon.

Dan Just out of curiosity why would you limit yourself to such a short loading? I never n=load a 95 shorter than 2.295 and many at 2.310. You are increasing your bullet jump dramatically for o good reason and will hinder potential performance IMHO. ASC magazines are your friend on this one. To run these chamber sit is always important to check the distance t lands through one method or another to keep you out of trouble. I use the SINCLAIR Seating Depth Gauge but the Hornady will work too if you make up a custom case. Greg |
