6mm GT case capacity

Good Afternoon,
So I am working with 6mm GT, new Peterson brass, and Hornady 65 Vmax bullets.
Just making up some quick sighters, not going to develop these for groups or anything like that.
Powder data from Hodgdon.
37.x is the starting load.
38.0 of Staball Match gives 100 pct. case fill.
The data says I can go to over 41 grains.
39.5 comes not quite to the top of the neck.
Have any of you played around with compressed loads in this cartridge?
Or is Peterson brass just thick-walled?
Thanks
 
Don't compress staball 38 is a good load we use 38.3 to 38.9 with 107 smk 108 eld and 115 dtac with 1/3 to 1/2 moa this will give you great barrel life
 
STAY at, 1/2 to, a Full grain Under ANY Max Loads with, Peterson Brass as,. It's, a tiny Bit,.. THICKER, brass.
You'll be able to put, a Little More Powder in Case, once "Fire formed" to, your Chamber.
It seems to "Work Harden" a Bit and I'm "Having to Anneal" after, the 3rd firing, on my 6.5 Creed Brass Not, a big Deal !
Can't tell, the difference, between Peterson and Lapua Brass for,.. Accuracy !
Quality, "Stuff" !
