Zeroed scales.
Weighed 47g 2206h.
Tipped into case.
Fills to halfway up neck.

Tried trickling and tapping.
Still halfway up the length of the neck.
Tried book minimum 45g. Same thing.

Wtf. Any clues?
Never had this happen with 708.308.6.5.243.......

Is this powder overly bulky?

Do i have the numbers wrong?

Do i not actually have 2206h in the 2206h labeled tub?

I had the same happen to me with the 7mm RM & to make matters worse a mate did the load development for me & when i shook the bullets you could hear powder moving inside but when I did my own loads exact same brew ..compressed loads !! & I triple checked to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong , I wondered if the temperature could effect the powder , loading in a nice warm house vs a cold garage or is that just silly talk ? from memory the powder was from a different batch could that be it ?
