Among the slow powders I've used are H4350, 414, IMR 7828.
Can anyone say how Big Game compares with them by volume? I see it's a bit faster burning, I'd like to know how well it fills the case.

With a max book load in 308, 165 gr bullet it is close to being compressed.

Going off of Lee's VMD chart, H4350 & IMR 7828 are both listed as .0725, H414 .0661, and Ramshot Big Game at .0708. So Big Game should be just slightly more dense (less bulky) than the first two.
Thanks!
