And evens out pressure. It’s individual to the chamber and projectile profile. Sean and Puffy liked 4064 and really 3031 for the .405 cased GNR’s. The BLC-2 fireball is spectacular! Even at high noon. lol

Try to do minimal resizing to prevent case stretching and extend case life. FL sizing using them in two guns and chamber at max levels gave me 5-6 reloads before bright rings at the bases tipped me to thinning at the web. Don’t recall one actually splitting.

BTW - my .338 was 16” OAL but had a 2” chambered brake on the end included. I got our .30 GNR out to do some shooting, you motivated me. The .256 Raptor too. The .25’s seem to need a bit more precise bullet placement from what I heard from guys. I’m a 7mm fan but the .30 is fine too.
