[QUOTE="mtnkid85, post: 981317, member: 82970"] While Im unfamiliar with the components they are using, I know with some of the slower powders such as Varget you simply cant get enough powder in the .223rem sized case to cause overpressure issues. Of course the decision to not work up to that load is ill advised at best. I just looked up the burn rate of IMR4198 and it is a fairly fast burning powder, IMRs website lists the max load for .223rem w/ 60gr bullet as 19.5gr and NOT being compressed. Might be scary!
