Pressure signs

[goblbustr]

New to this so need some opinions. Does this primer look like high pressure or is this normal?

It's actually better with an angled picture. But it doesn't look bad to me. Too much glare straight-on, also look for ejector marks on the head.

Primer looks good, as mentioned need to see the brass.

Normal.

If the primer starts to fill the radius of the primer pocket entrance, then you have excessive pressure issues, BUT, not ALL primers are soft in this way. Some brands deform more at lower pressures than others.
I don't rely on primer appearance as an indication of excessive pressure, the brass and rifle have more telltale signs to look for.

Cheers.

I use only the bolt lift resistance for checking pressure since the brass is the weakest link.

This what I was going to ask…
