[QUOTE="ehryk, post: 815099, member: 29343"] I let pressure trace let me know. The hard part was taking all the measurements, which I spent hours on, but once done was well worth the time. The next part was looking for a load with components I had that had full measurements and pressure included. Once I adjusted the powder charge to give the velocity listed I was able to make my correction which was only about 130psi. Now I work up the load until PT says I am at or near max then work down for accuracy. Most often PT shows I am at max with no apparent pressure signs at all. Cases mic fine, no ejector or extractor marks, primers are fine, etc. Pressure Trace is a bit pricy but I feel it has been WELL worth the expense. [/QUOTE]
