[QUOTE=".280Rem, post: 206465, member: 11140"] I would submit to you that loading until you get pressure signs is somewhat dangerous. But, it's worked for you. Originally, my father did that, and that was a way I learned, but learned that the chronograph, though it's not fool proof, will most often tell me I'm at max before I see signs of stiff bolt lift or on the brass. The way I approach it, I almost never get pressure signs. Not saying never, but rarely. As for your 7mmRM load, since I run 66grs of R-22 with a Nosler Accubond (which I think is Nosler's max powder charge) at 3080fps in a 25.6" bbl, I'd bet your load isn't too hot and running around 3000-3075fps in a 24"-26"bbl, which is what is doable safely in the 7mmRM.
