I am trying to fit 26.5gr of Reloder-15 (max book load Lee manual) under a 60gr V-Max. The case is Remington commercial .223 Rem

Do any of you use a drop tube and does it make that much difference?

The best I can get now is the powder level right at the bottom of the neck. I don't mind compressing loads but this is just a little more than I like to compress.  

Thanks,

I use a drop tube and it does pack the powder tighter.

I have used them various .30 cal and 45/70... they do work. Certainly worth the money spent.

Bought mine a while ago when they were $12. Its a nice kit.




My load with a Sierra 52 gr MK is 27.0 grs Re-15. The drop tube makes this possible.

dryflash, that's awsome info. They still have that kit it is $20 now.

What do you think about this one. It is also 4 inches.

I made a short write up on mine but the thread got locked. Here it is but it's dead.

Use the paper clip over the globe Icon in the post block, or go up to FAQ's for more info.




That's a less expensive kit, But I don't know anything about it.
