[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 2058351, member: 38801"] In a marlin a good sign that you’ve surpassed safe loads is if the lever pops open (even just a little) on firing. I also think using a case comparator and sizing based on the shoulder length in your chamber is very important versus FL sizing based on the generic instructions from the die maker. With a micrometer, not a caliper, compare the case expansion at the web after firing and you can also gain some insight to pressure limits. On a second firing in a lever action I don’t want to see any expansion of the case web. [/QUOTE]
