[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 2297502, member: 108138"] I watch both primers and ejector marks, but don’t consider them to be the end all be all signs of pressure. Most of my rifles are Remington 700s and they are famous for a sloppy firing pin hole. Most all my loads, and even factory rounds will have a cratered primer. Also, as mentioned above, some primers will flatten quicker than others. I’ve also had several rifles that would leave a significant ejector mark with factory ammo, so if all I’m seeing is a slight ejector mark, I’m ok with that. Sticky bolt lift is another story. That’s dangerous territory. Also, the feel of the recoil is helpful. If you pull the trigger and think, **** that kicked harder than it should have, coupled with any pressure signs, that’s a warning that your a little too hot. [/QUOTE]
