In loading large straight-walled pistol cartridges like 44 magnum and 454 Casull, how much can flake powders be safely compressed? If GRT shows 105% load density with only 27 kpsi in 44 magnum, is it safe to compress it that much? How about 110% load density, could that much compression raise the pressure 7-8000 kpsi, putting it over maximum?
