[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 875301, member: 51650"] Canadian Bushman About working up your loads with a different primer. Load 3-5 rounds same powder charge and new primer. Shoot them over the Chronograph onto a target. If the first round is abnormally higher (50-100fps) velocity than the original load STOP. The pressure may be higher and you need to check for all the usual signs (primer appearance, case head marks, stiff extraction etc.) of high pressure. If the velocity is the same or there are no signs of excess pressure shoot away and check your results. Quick and easy test that conserves ammo. The first round will tell you a lot from the Chronograph reading. [/QUOTE]
