FL & neck sized powder charge query


Stumpy

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

done a little bit of reloading for 243 over the years but have always full length resized, had a go at neck sizing some cases and before I load the rounds up I began to wonder will I have to develop a new powder charge or can I stick with my existing powder weight? 

Cases are once fired in the rifle I am loading for, primer, powder type and bullet make/weight the same as my existing accurate load.

thanks for any guidance in advance

The cases can only be slightly bigger so as long as you seat the same COAL I can't see any problem for you to load as usual and test.

That was my thinking too, but always better to hear it from someone else 👍🏻

And you changed it? Oh my!🙂~Andrew

Just experimenting.... If it improves things great, if not I still have an accurate load to fall back on 😀
