I load 25 gr. of Varget under 69 gr. Sierra TMK's to within .020" of the lands. Yes, my Savage 12FV is short-throated also. I use an electric toothbrush to vibrate the filled cases in order to settle the powder. I still crush/compress a tiny bit sometimes, but no issues. I am able to load my crappy Savage Edge in .223 much longer, FWIW.
