[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2694681, member: 9772"] Thats the problem with the normal pressure signs. Brass wont start showing issues until you are over 65k. Reading cratered primers without a bushed firing pin in some rifles is hard to do. With that being said we use those tools because thats all we have. Measuring case web expansion can be done with a micrometer( not a caliper). With all that being said I ran a ladder up to 48.5 grains which quick load predicted to be 3017 at 63091k and it was 3011 on my chrono. Most of the load data out there and ammo is running 58-60k with a saami 65 max. As opposed to a 270 winchester which is commonly loaded to 64k with a 65k max. I believe this is because the creed was initially an AR round. You see this with the 06 also because of the garand saami max is 60K. So the deal is you can run higher pressure than factory loads and data and still be under saami. Wether you choose to do so is a personal decision. Berger listed a 135 at 2977 with a 24”. That would be 3027 with a 26”. It is quickload data based. [/QUOTE]
