[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 2755924, member: 103919"] I’ve had batches of lapua 6.5x47 brass that had a series of light ejector marks all around the case head. It still lasted 10+ firings. That case seems to have a very high pressure tolerance. I have found that ever gun is a bit different. So like others I compare what I see to the velocity and pressure in QL. I have one gas gun that shows bad ejector marks at 58k. But for bolt guns, I load for accuracy at the velocity I can achieve. I don’t mind having a load that says it is in the mid 60k according to QL/GRT of if I get light ejector smears I’m ok with that IF the load doesn’t have hard bolt lift AND the load passes a water test for a few rounds in the summer.
