[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 510664, member: 26019"] Too late? Sometimes yes! The common over pressure signs are a sign that over pressure is occuring not an indication that it is not occuring. The warning to work up to maximum loads slowly is good advise. Some cartridges like the .243 already exist in the high pressure zone without any additional help. Some primers will take more pressure to exibit that flattening effect. Some die, and chamber fit dimensions will not allow case stretching, a little bit of case sizeing wax left on the cartridge will reduce the feel of a starting to get a bit sticky bolt. Any over pressure sign is a need to evaluate what is happening. Sometimes over pressure signs are an indication that something isn't correct and completely absent of over pressure. Is a load combo that generally shows no signs of over pressure a good reason to overlook the 1 in 2 dozen rounds that does. That 1 time a quick follow up shot isn't so fast because the bolt didn't operate smoothly. In any case I don't feel that the few extra fps gained by takeing it to the border line is of any value in even the slightest. Problems are often attributed to reloading practices which is a nice way of saying things that are not too flattering to the person operating the press. -- keep in mind that safe pressures are obtained by testing hundreds and even thousands of rounds in all conditions, not merely 10 rounds fired on a nice fall afternoon [/QUOTE]
