[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1310072, member: 4191"] Reload the same, single casing multiple times to see if the primer pocket expands. If it doesn't expand and primers continue to seat with resistance after 5 shots fired, you couldn't be generating dangerously high pressure in your rifle. The case head will expand in the first several firings if you're over pressuring. In a single firing if you're way over pressure. The brass case head, primer pocket, and primers are the weakest links in the entire system. As pressures rise, the case head will expand and grow in diameter, resulting in loose and/or leaky primer pockets. Having said all that, if you're significantly over maximum MVs compared to the reloading manuals, you need to monitor pressure signs with extra efforts. [/QUOTE]
