    I have gone down to 5gr trail boss in 308(with lighter jacketed projectiles) and had no problems of any sort.
    I have never drilled primer pockets either tho it might be a good idea with other powders.

    "Mouse Farts" and "Cat Sneezes"

    C.E. Harris worte an interesting article on these, tried out some with Unique and 700x and they were accurate, seamed like a lot of space in the case though.
