I come from a background of loading BP cartridges so compressing a load is nothing new to me. however from my understanding heavily compressing smokeless can lead to major pressure spikes. on that note, my Hornady manual says the max load for a 300gr bullet using W760 is 78 grains but with the 300gr BTSP that is some pretty serious compression. so far ive tried up to 75 grains of W760 which is a compressed load and i didn't notice and pressure signs. im unsure if i should try going for max due to compression but id like to get these puppies to 2500 fps for long range work and according to the manual this should be possible with 78 grains.
what are you thoughts on this? also general thoughts on compressed loads with African magnums?
thanks
