Here is a question for those of you more learned than me. I have been loading 12 grains of WC297 under a 120 grain lead G/C bullet for my .327 mags. That is a compressed load for sure. How do you know when you have compressed as much as you dare? Is it still just about pressure or am I pushing my luck by trying to compress more powder in the case?

What cartridge are we reloading? 327? (I was too quick)

I've never used the WC297, but understand it runs just a tad slower than H110/W296. I know some loads with 110/296 can be slightly compressed.... so MAYBE a touch compressed is ok for W297? I know you're running blind without vetted data for the WC297 so paying attention to pressure signs, going slow, and backing off any with ANY and ALL changes in components has got to be critical and mandatory.
Good luck. I've been a bit stumped with this 327 Mag myself. I've been testing Blue Dot, AA9 and W296 so far and the chronograph numbers are not running in a linear fashion for me. This is another reason I recommend caution. Maybe 2Dogs, Sixshot and others can chime in, but this round - at least for me - seems a bit squirrely, or unstable, in my Single Seven.

I have had very good luck with 2400. Came across the WC297 at a very good price so "stocked up" some. I did some offhand shooting with it in my blackhawk and was getting stellar accuracy. Can't even believe how good it was shooting.
