    I'm not a reloader so I don't know, but is it physically possible to double-charge the .30 Carbine case? Seems like it would be pretty full with the single charge.

    If you use H110 or 296

    It fills it up pretty well, same with 2400. You might get 1 1/8 load but that's all. I suppose if someone wanted to fool around with bullseye, you could pack about 4X in that case. That would blow it sky high.

    Having just loaded about 300+ rounds using both 2400 and 296, I can say that no way a double charge will fit in a 30 carbine case.

    Absolutely

    But Joe Duffuss could pack about 20 grains of Bullseye or Red Dot in there and it would blow like a grenade. I've seen a double load of Bullseye blow the cylinder and top strap off a S&W .38. That's about 6-8 grains, a tiny amount. The reason why I use a bullet board and LOOK inside every one I make.
