Compressing a charge is often a good thing to do as long the max is not exceeded. It will usually give you more consistent results. But the amount you might be compressing is what worries me. The manuals show compressed loads of 59 to 60 grains depending on the bullet weight. But if you are compressing 63 to 65 grains thinking it is <= 60 grains, then we (you) have a problem.

I was trying to get someone to help out because we need 3 data points to find an answer to the puzzle. But I guess no one has any I4350 or time.
