I loaded a batch of an even 24 gr. and got flattened primers and sticky cases in my 629 Classic DX. I looked up the parameters for W296 and it listed a min. of 23 gr. I went with that for my next batch since both powders are the same. The primer and case issues went away.


Oddly enough, that load was the favorite of both my 629 Classic DX and my Marlin 1894. Go figga!
