I am brand new to reloading for 30-06. I got some great info here from searching and from a few members.
I just bought some H4350 , 165gn SST bullets , CCI 200 primers and remington brass.
The Hornady manual shows a start of 48gr and max of 58.9. I started by loading 3 rounds of each charge , starting at 48gr and I have made it to 56.7gr. At 56.7 the powder is at the neck , if I up the charge it looks like it is going to compress before i get to a max load. The book does not say anything about a compressed load with the powder and bullet. I have triple checked each load and they are right on. I even checked on a second scale and all was good.
My question is , Is this normal or do I have a problem somewhere ?
Any help would be great , trying to get out to shoot this weekend and want to make sure I am safe .
thank you
