Wow that case is full !

Stupid question probably...Are you using Hodgdon H4198 or the old IMR stuff?

I surprised you're having ANY trouble at all with H4198..so, I'm just asking.

H4198. It's not a problem just something new to me. I've been reloading pistols 10+ yrs,
6mmbra 3.
This is the first "full" case I've loaded for.
With all other I stick bullet in all the cases while in the loading tray. Can't do that with 30br. Necks are sized 3 down from loaded round ...Bullet won't stick in.
I've got the system down now.
Only 100 left to do them I'll be off to the indoor club range to boat away !

I have shot 33.9 gr H4198 in the 30BR for years. No drop tube but just pour
slowly. Comes to middle of neck.

34.0 same result

I use a battery powered toothbrush without the head on it. I put my finger on top of the case and touch the toothbrushes shaft to the case. The vibration settles the powder quickly.

That's what my wife uses !

yeah most are adding to my post.
I never said wouldn't fit. More than half the neck.
Adjectives such as ...crush, compact .... Color, Coulor I suppose.

Oh..plenty of room! Your first test session should be fun. It's hard to make a 30BR shoot bad. Enjoy!

JMayo,looking good hope you enjoy your 30 br as much as I have mine.Also hope you show us the results of your labor...

I agree Jimmymac. There is a limit. I have always shot upper node with the PPC and there can be too much of a good thing. When you open your shell box and no two rounds beside each other look alike......well I have been there. Not a good feeling. What was interesting to me was all the comments from what the OP brought up agreeing but then words of wisdom just the opposite from Mr Robinette. Often we need to do a little research, myself included, before we assume.

I hear that !

I'm loading my first 30br. 4198 @ 33.8.
Maybe an 8th to the top.
Crushing that powder !
Compared to the 6bra bt 105's that'll stick in and stay there while I put the seater over it the 30br is a pita to hold, don't spill & set seater over it.
My fingers do not work well because of a accident years ago.
It would be easier on the press no doubt. Oh well, like I have the time to get all 200 done for fire forming.

That is exactly the amount of powder that I am using (w/no pressure issues etc). I am hitting 3150 fps with that. I use an 8" 21st century drop tube w/no issues.
