Compressed loads with long bullets

[cory]

Compressed loads are very common for me. I also like to experiment with the 140gr and heavier solid bullets. I'll load my rounds within a few hundredths to a tenth of the desired length, I'll use a vibratory case tumbler with the rounds in a reloading tray, and then press the bullets to the final length. I have done this almost exclusively with CFE 223 FWTW.

Now I'm not telling you this is the right way to do it. I don't know if it is or not frankly. I know I haven't had any problems, but I haven't put enough of these rounds down range to know for sure. I don't get to put as many rounds down range these days.
