[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1034851, member: 22069"] As you go through your powder charge workup, you should be in the habit of checking each fired case for pressure signs. If you see signs of excessive pressure before you reach your max load, stop. Worrying about pulling bullets before you have seen any results is silly. I was doing an OCW, not too long ago, that consisted of 7 different powder charges over and above the first three sighters. I started getting cratered primers and ejector marks by the third powder charge and terminated the test. With that particular combination, I started getting pressure signs much sooner than expected. I will have to back my charges down and recalculate my OCW. THAT is why we work up carefully and pay attention to each step in the process. [/QUOTE]
