Hence the safety warnings about CFE BLK apply to all barrel lengths!
You can remove the post that won't offend me. I have shot with CFEBLK in a long barrel as well with 123gr projectiles. Seems fine to me "ideally" there are better powders. With my parameters of a very short COL and minimum case fill I agree it's probably not a good idea. This combination was a result of the times we live in and the availably of options. This load is not listed anywhere in any form. Did I experience the woahs of testing? Yes and rightfully so. This load will destroy brass in a autoloader if it's pushed to far. The resilience of the parent case is the rule not the exception to the cartridge, as I will claim it can handle anything you put into it. I gave this forum a gift of an individual's effort to inform the people of another option. If it's taken away so be it. If you don't believe me try it. I will once again reiterate that this is an advanced load that beginners should step away from and there are better options. This in no way should deter anyone from trying something on there own and experimenting with your abilities and practices.
