[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 1226821, member: 29281"] Your big mistake is using velocity as a measure of pressure. It is ridiculous to use a chronograph and then surmise a load is safe or unsafe based on velocity. If your accuracy is acceptable, the bolt lift isn't hard and you don't have other signs of high pressure enjoy the vellocity and don't worry about it. This myth about velocity being a reliable measure of pressure is wide spread. It is NOT a primary measure of pressure but only a secondary indicator. Just consider that as pressure increases to a dangerous point velocity goes DOWN. Yea, DOWN. At the greatest extreme you have a bolt in your face and the bullet has hardly any velocity at all.
