[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2869179, member: 26077"] You guys are free to do whatever you want, but I really can't believe how many times this has to be repeated. If you are getting hard bolt lift you are WAY WAY past pressure limits. You are north of 90,000 PSI and past even proof test loads. If you are losing primer pockets after 1 or 2 firings, even on soft bras, you are Way past pressure limits. All of the traditional pressure signs, flat primers, ejector marks etc are well over the proper pressure. Hodgdon publishes the pressure for all their loads, and these are all 100% tested. Different guns, powder, brass will give slightly different results but if you think you can significantly exceed their velocity or loads you are just fooling yourself. If you think loads have been lawyered, call Hodgdon. They will confirm that better testing equipment and current powder profiles is what has lead to current loads. Like I said at the start, guys are going to do whatever they want, but I am glad I don't have to share a range with guys shooting 100,000 PSI loads. [/QUOTE]
