WOW ... I find that much unsupported case to be unsatisfying to say the least.
How did you measure the charge put into the cases? Lee dippers?
If so, have you measured the actual weights of say 10 to 20 charges using the same dipper? Would be very interested in knowing what kinds of charge weights you were actually getting (extremes and average).
As I said before I have used weighted 15.5 gr charges of W296 behind 147 gr FMJBTs ... and they were stiff in my 16.5" bbl. I backed down some for fireforming with the gas port closed.
