[QUOTE="257RobertsMan, post: 1945214, member: 111366"] If you have heavy bolt lift, extraction problems, flattened primers, ejector marks/swipes.... they are over pressure indicators!!! BACK OFF!!! There are several indicators of over pressure and one by itself my not indicate that you are at Max or already over MAX, but you very well could Be! To be safe, reduce your load, double check and double measure everything; powder, scale, primers, case measurements (before & after), chamber measurements, etc! Keep notes, be meticulous!! Check chamber, barrel for carbon ring, copper, etc. Work back slowly in 0.2gr increments, measuring everything before and after firing, record. You may be able to work back up to your desired charge, however if you encounter pressure signs drop back to the next lowest node. NO VELOCITY OR GROUP IS WORTH YOUR FINGERS, EYESIGHT OR LIFE!
