[QUOTE="Odin6, post: 3038752, member: 116954"] Agreed on finding the max pressure for your rifle. All are different and knowing how close you are is safer than guessing. SAAMI data is only a guide for most firearms chambered in that cartridge and the load data sources can differ drastically. I also want to ensure that my loads developed during milder weather, won't cause too much pressure when I'm shooting in the middle of the summer heat. Key pressure signs to look for are: heavy bolt lift, flattened primers, extruded primers, and extractor marks on the case head. Just work up in small increments until you start seeing these signs then back off approximately a grain or so depending on the cartridge. [/QUOTE]
