[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1903912, member: 14435"] That stiff bolt lift is used as a sign by many, as is case head expasion, ejector swipes, flattened primers etc. When you are working on loads you typically don’t move up a grain at a time, its maybe a 1/2 grain on a case that holds 70+, or .2 on a case in the 40gr capacity cases. You won’t blow your rifle up in one step, unless as pointed out above you swapped in a faster burning powder. You will feel stiff bolt lift a few steps before you lockup the bolt, or “blow” it up. I have two rifles that would be locked up solid with a book max load, and one that needs 3gr over to match speed/pressure, so that data is not reliable either. Quickload is only as good as your inputs and how accurate your measurements are. Bottom line - If you are going to reload you need to learn to read and measure pressure signs. [/QUOTE]
