[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2755839, member: 9772"] Thats the problem with pushing the envelope. Something changes and now that load that was over max by a little bit is suddenly unsafe. That is why no saami max pressure is over 65k. It gives you some wiggle room. Reading primers is unreliable. By the time you get sticky bolt lift your likely way over max. Bolt design and brass hardness can affect ejector marks. People dont like to hear it but if you want to be safe stay within the realm of published velocities. I can load my 6.5 creedmoor with R 26 and a 140 to 3050 with zero pressure signs.Ql has the pressure on that load at 66K. The max published velocity in the Hornady manual with that combo is 2850 in a 24” so maybe 2900 in my 26”. I can live with that. [/QUOTE]
