I am trying to work up a load for my Marlin 1894CL in 32-20... Here is what I've got so far. I started with Starline 32-20 Brass, CCI Small rifle primer, and Hornady 85grn XTP Bullet. (Total C.O.A.L. of 1.50) I have chosen Lil Gun as my powder started out with a charge of 7.5grns working up to a charge of 8.0grns (which shoots really good, checked the brass after each shot and it looks fine) The latest Hornady Book Has a max load of 8.0grns with a C.O.A.L of 1.55... Does my bullet being seated farther make this a hotter load? Or do I have nothing to worry about?
