Ok guys. I have some questions about reading pressure signs in the belted mags. I have been reloading for many years. This is the first time reloading for a belted case. I have started working a load for the nosler 168gr ablr. , win brass, win mag primers and imr 7828ssc. I started at 62.0gr and worked to 64.0 in half gr. increments. The rifle is a ruger m77 mkii. Before I shot any hand loads I shot some win 150gr PowerPoint. My problem is every thing I shot flattened primers. I stopped at 64 because I didn't have mics with me at the rAnge. So when I got home I mics the belts and just above the belt. All were in Spec. Belts were .528-.530. Dia just above belt was .5128-.5134. So what I need to know is Should I just keep going till bolt lift started getting stiff or what else should I be looking for. Thank you
