[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1837120, member: 2736"] No, in my opinion. Check the velocity and if it is where it should be and accuracy is good consider yourself good/lucky. Many rifle, chamber and load combinations have the ability to reach Maximum SAMMI pressures without pressure signs and recommended/published velocities. Other rifles will not perform the same way and can/will produce pressure signs at lower velocities with the same load (Powder, primer and bullet). Also some brass will handle more pressure than other brands of brass, so reading the pressure signs only tells you that you are on the edge of problems and you should back off. Max pressure loads should be avoided because irregardless of the signs, you are exceeding the Standard pressures of the cartridges and components. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
