[QUOTE="Toddxusmc, post: 3069101, member: 108726"] Couple things, If you want your .308 Win to perform like a 300 safely, just get a 300. Now as to pressure. Visuals aren't a good indicator for pressure. Too many variables like primer cup hardness, chamber dimension(min/max) etc. The most reliable way to know if you’re getting close to max without having a strain gauge, is to use case head measurements in conjunction with a chronograph. You’ll discover that in most cases the velocity gain will flatten between consecutive loads on the ladder; while at the same time your head measurements of your brass will be very close to or at your max. For a step by step on how to use the case head measurement method - search my recent posts, I just wrote a how to (3?) posts ago. [/QUOTE]
