Hey guys, Im fairly new to reloading, so Im wondering is the 48 grains IMR 4350 compressed. I just started loading for a 7-08 & I can get to 44-45 grains 4350 ,any more than that & its compressed. So Is the 48 grains heavily compressed. & does it give you any problems. Any opinions would be appreciated. Oh yeah. Im loading 139 SSTs at 2.80

My 22" bbl Mountain rifle averages 3015 with the 120 TSX and 43 grains of RL-15...

I played with 120's as well
around 3150 fps, got a 1 1/2" group with them at 200 yds
My gun shoots everything in it well
But a 139 at 3000 would be nice

Yea its compressed if you dump it in there. YOu need a long drop tube. Then its slightly compressed.
