Trying to find powders for my 30-06, running into some problems. Here where I am starting
Once fired Winchester brass
Remington 9 ½ large rifle primers
Hornady 150g Interlock BT. At Ogive bullet touches lands at 2.613, bullets seated at 2.602. bullet seats into casing 0.397
Space remaining as measured from case mouth with MAX charge
Benchmark 49g 0.750 after loading bullet 0.371
Varget 52g 0.670 after loading bullet 0.291
Reloader 17 60g 0.409 after loading bullet 0.030
I plan to steer clear of benchmark and I am seriously doubting varget, there is just so much space left in the case.
My question come down to this How much does case fill affect accuracy and pressure/safety. I had heard of detonations with too low of case capacity.
