at as high a velocity as I can for expansion, without leading, and to get there have had to use a caseful of slow powder. I mess with this much at all and would need scrap everything and go with fancier bullets and hotter powders, where right now my pressures are not much over factory loads, and great brass life. I have thought about this for about 30yrs, and can ponder it for another 30, I suppose.
