223 longer seating depth

[Neil84]

I’ve been reloading for a while now but this is the first time I’ll be extending my coal load is 73gr eld-m, I want to load them with a 2.425 coal instead of the standard 2.250 length, My question is about increasing the powered capacity I’ve run it in GRT and can get up to 25gr of 2208/varget. How do I best approach my loads when increasing it like this.

Thanks in advance boys

Do you have a chronograph? Running your bullet out relieves the case capacity issue, but doesn't affect your load pressure much. By that I mean you may no longer have a compressed load, but your max load doesn't jump 2 grs of powder. As always, work up slowly and look for pressure signs.

I do have one, that’s what I had no idea about, so best to start as I would with a “standard “ load and work up slowly, got it
