.308 w/IMR-3031 just don't look right.

[jeeptim]

Loading up some plinkers w/some IMR 3031 using load data from 40y/o book
powder came from a privat sale at 45gr powder is to the very top of the case
Load data dose not mention compressing. Have not used 3031 in 10 years.
IS 3031 long stick powder? bullets are 110gr.
Thanx

Lyman #49 says 45.0 grains IMR-3031 in a .308 is a compressed charge.

It is shown as a max charge with a 110 grain Sierra HP.
