[QUOTE="406ANGLER, post: 2844343, member: 126608"] My opinion: those are definite pressure signs. Your primers are flowing, the case heads have excess ejector wipe, and you have a sticky bolt. STOP. I once made the mistake of assuming that a similar looking case was a fluke since I wasn't anywhere near the manufacturer's published maximum load. I shot the next .5gr increment and had a case head separation. Basically the pressure was so high the brass case ruptured in the chamber and all the gasses take the path of least resistance which is right next to your face. Turned out to be a 'fast' lot of powder. All the signs were there. A small amount of ejector wipe is normal and acceptable to me, primers having flat or rounded edges are moot. Looks like there are no shortage of opinions... about 8 pages so far, but its your face that's next to ≥61,000PSI. [/QUOTE]
