[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1087326, member: 34084"] A small tool mark on the case head, by itself, is not enough to indicate over pressure. A sharp edge, rust pitting, etc., on the bolt face can create a local pressure point that leaves a mark, even when the case pressure is well below max. I look for a another indicator. In your case the charge weights are above max load in my Lee Handbook. In that situation I would stop at the first indication of over pressure, especially if I only saw the mark appear above 60 grains. What does your chronograph read? [/QUOTE]
