[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 510620, member: 15748"] If you're not seeing any pressure signs in a bolt gun, you're probably just fine. It's a much bigger problem in guns that operate at pressures are so low they don't show signs until you're well over their allowable limits. Lever actions like the M94, revolvers, pumps, that sort of thing. You can sail right into dangerous territory without being aware of it because many of these operate at pressures far lower than those of typical bolt guns. Sounds like you're doing fine, just keep a look out for the usual suspects; flattened or cratered primers (and they'll lie to you, too), shortened case life due to primer pockets opening up, that sort of thing. Sticky bolt lift is a fairly sure and certain sign that you've gone too far and need to back off; stay below that. You'll be okay. [/QUOTE]
