[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 883052, member: 39801"] I tend to evaluate similar to you - primer watching can be fickle at best. Marks on the brass and sticky bolts are a no-go area for me. I think it is weird to see extractor marks on factory ammo, but I have shot some factory fodder that I know is hot. They are more interested in velocity claims than brass life, that is for sure. Bottom line, I wouldn't use your experience with that factory ammo as any type of benchmark for your own loading. I am a "never exceed book max" kind of guy. If you are at book max with your current load MHO is why push it? The extra velocity is probably worthless by any practical measure.... I know other guys view it differently but to me it is pretty simple risk vs benefit. I would be interested in what the manufacturer would say if you emailed a pic and asked their opinion? Just curiosity on my part. [/QUOTE]
