I am loading some .308 with imr 4064. The cartridge length is 2.015 and it's a PMC cartridge. I am loading 150 grain soft points. minimum load is 43 grains and max load is 47.7 grains according to IMR website.
On some of the cartridges the 45 grains of IMR 4064 which I have measure 3 times to be sure, fill it darn near to the top. my question is, even though it's 2.7 full grains less than the max, because of the amount of compression once the bullet is seated, am I going to run into overpressure problems. Guns I will be shooting this ammo out of are a remington 700 BDL and a full size springfield M1a. Cartridge in question is in bottom left corner.
Pics for reference. Thank you.
