[QUOTE="MW204, post: 3040525, member: 118876"] That's not bad advise for a novice reloader, but I do know the first signs of pressure, that being a heavy bolt or primer issues, and each rifle is different as you probably know. Before I started loading Hammer bullets I paid close attention to load data and even if I had not reached max by the book if my rifle said hey buds that's too much powder for this load then i backed off or started fresh with another bullet, powder, or primer, of course I had a clean barrel. But when I started loading Hammer bullets I listened to the experts on how to load them and of course I already had knowledge about pressure signs. In today's world I wouldn't tell most people how to reload because of people being people, but there are some on this sight that I'd share load data with and be comfortable using what they gave me. That doesn't mean I still wouldn't work up to it as I always do, but I also know they wouldn't give me something they felt it was unsafe. I use a 178gr Absolute Hammer bullet and it's faster, a lot faster, than advertised load data for a 180gr bullet, but this bullet is designed to go faster with less pressure and it does. Did I find the pressure sign, I did and I backed off 1 gr of powder and I have no brass issues, nor any pressure signs with that load. [/QUOTE]
