I use a lot of H110 as I like loads on the warmer end of things and it has always worked well for me. I have always been curious about the warnings of not downloading by more than "x"% of the max charge though.
From looking at my loading manuals, this seems like a poor standard to go by. For example, max load for H110 according to my Hornady manual for 454 Casull with a 300 gr bullet is 31.4gr (32.3 for 296).
The same manual lists the minimum load for ruger only 45 colt with the same bullet as 17.9 gr of 296.
Case overall length is less than .1" different.
I guess my question is, is it a minimum pressure that H110 needs to burn correctly or a minimum percentage of case capacity?
