I was a little nervous about that load being so close to the bullet.

That W296 load came from http://www.reloadammo.com/32hr-mag.htm, which he says is a very good load. The problem with all his load data and for the most part all other data I have seen is that he does not list a seating depth. He even lists a larger load of 10.3 gr of W296. That would probably be a compressed charge.

That same chart lists a charge of between 10.1 and 10.9 gr of W296 for a 100 gr LRN. Although these bullets are not seated as deeply, that load kind of makes me nervous as well.

Frankenmauser, you said "Other than Titegroup, those powders should get you in the ballpark of 700-750 fps with 2.5-3.0 gr". Will the TG be faster or slower?
