[QUOTE="jb1023, post: 2283226, member: 91995"] I know this thread has been dormant for a bit but hoping maybe a few folks are still watching and might be able to offer some opinions. I have a 6.5ss and a 6.5cm. I'm thinking about getting rid of the 6.5cm and just downloading the 6.5ss when I just want to do some short range plinking. Is there a "minimum" case fill % that I should make sure I stay above? I know for precision you want to fill the case, 95ish%, but is there a target number for minimum also. I have 4 powders I can use, RE26, H1000, 7828ssc and Hunter. Hunter is definitely the powder I'm thinking for my plinking loads but based on Quickload I'm looking at 83-87% case fill for my target velocity. Is that sufficient to seal the chamber and give the needed pressure to do its thing? [/QUOTE]
