[QUOTE="nwmnbowhunter, post: 2140703, member: 103431"] I have found that a chronograph is mandatory or else you are just guessing. Light ejector marks are most consistent sign of pressure signs followed by bright ejector mark and stiff bolt lift. Recognize these and don't load beyond light ejector marks. 308 size case I feel 0.5 grain increments is safe range to work up loads to find pressure. Your first firing of brass will be the most different from fired brass. Each time you load brass keep them all the same firing. Don't mix batches. After you fire them the first time and start your second loading on the cases verify your velocity and charge weight. Often times it will be slightly different [ usually within a grain though..] Keep asking questions and reading. Have fun!!! [/QUOTE]
