Thing about small charges of fast powder is chance of a double charge. I double charged a 32/40 when breech seating my CPA Schuetzen rifle. Fellow distracted me loading at the shooting bench, not a excuse my fault. . Bigger bang no damage. It's a modern steel reproduction action that's capable of handing high power bottle neck cartridges, and the 4227 load was a mild one to start. .
After asked the question on ASSRA forum, who will admit they have double charged. Half a dozen guys said they have. Since I am more careful and check all loads with a drop gage. And that rifle will stand it. Weaker actions may come apart. Very good reason to use case filling loads in Lever action rifles.
