[QUOTE="Badgerclaw, post: 1489938, member: 101780"] I could have bumped the shoulder just a smidge. But I believe it was only .0001 or .0002 if I did. I have seen flattened primers before in loads that I knew were well below a max load. One thing I learned from reading this forum a few years back is that some people are of the opinion that brass signs are of little use at best. I don't know where to quote this from but I know people have said that the best way to tell if you have pressure, is by velocity, because pressure and velocity are directly related. So if most people can get around 3200 fps (most people with 180 begers) in the same chamber, with the same powder, then I believe I can safely get to 3150 which is my goal with the 180 eldms. I belive it should only take another .6 -.8 gr of powder. I was going up about 30fps with every half gr of powder through my ladder test pretty consistantly. And my primers were just barely starting to flatten out at 75gr.... almost an Un-noticeable amount. [/QUOTE]
