I was noticing that I could extra grains of powder before signs of pressure in a load that others were using with 18 grains. Previous loads will need to be re-worked up if you have a real 300 AAC BLACKOUT chamber. And remember - don't shoot 300 AAC BLACKOUT ammo in a previous chamber as it will have additional pressure.

But aren't your recommended seating depths extremely short to function correctly in the AR15 mag? Seated to your recommended OAL, seems like there is a lot of powder space wasted.
