[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1371043, member: 99718"] Those are the signs that will be the first showing pressure is getting towards the upper limits. Straight cases still expand to fill the chamber of your gun, the more the pressure the tighter the fit . This tight fit makes the action stiff to open. In my 308 & 300 mag. rifles ( not straight cases ) I try to get the most speed out of them that I can to get them to shoot their flattest for long range hunting & shooting so I load them up till I start to see these signs of pressure then back them off about a half of a grain. Some guys push them till the primers start to actually become rounded when they set them down base first they actually will rock around. To hot for me , and a 45-70 is no long range gun so I would not have a reason to push them as far as I do my magnums. Better safe than sorry, take your time and think about what your doing you will be ok. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
