So I took the forums advice from my last thread on IMR 4350 that I just got my hands on out of the blue. I attempted to load some 30-06.
I have a question if you don't mind.
I just tried loading some 30-06 with this powder. My Lyman reloading book puts the starting load at 52.5 grains with a 165 grain bullet. So i measured that out and holy crap it fills the case. I feel like I'm reloading compressed black powder loads.
That scares the crap out of me.
I have no reason to debut my reloading book or IMR's website and my scale is not off but I don't reload rifle cartridges very often. This is the first powder I've ever run into where I am compressing smokeless powder. The only other compressed load i know of is for a .460 Roland and that is a special case.
Am I about to blow myself up? Because that would screw up my weekend. I just got a new lever action and I need my hands to try it out.
This might be a stupid question but this is outside the normal very simple cartridges i reload.
