[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1739150, member: 109862"] Agreed. This sort of thing is also why I feel pressure signs are useful but not the last word by any stretch. I’ve observed in my own experiences loads that almost certainly cannot have been overpressure cause primer cratering or leave ejector marks, and I’ve also seen a 22 inch barrelled 270 spit 140 grain bullets out at well over 3100 with no indication of pressure whatsoever. It sure is weird. I’m personally fond of finding the slowest burn rate that will still give max performance because a) all things being equal a 100 percent load density tends to be more consistent and b) it’s nice to know that even if I do something stupid or make a mistake somewhere in the process it’s not going to be possible to fit enough powder into the case to cause anything truly catastrophic. Again, not knocking your accomplishment. That load is certainly believable and extremely impressive to say the least. I had a conversation with a fellow reloader the other day who claimed he was getting a .270 WSM to shoot 140 accubonds over 3600 FPS, with no pressure signs or stiff bolt lift or anything. That’s the sort of thing I’d call BS on! [/QUOTE]
