[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 285151, member: 2011"] AJ and Michele seem to have developed a good process. My process is quite similar but depends on the chamber. I've passed on the primer flattening though it is a bit of an indicator of things to come. The shiny extractor mark is an indicator that says I've gone to far. I don't think the cartridge can 'fire' straight with the bump on one side. On my REM 721 if there is the slightest of clicks as the bolt handle reached the top of its movement is the indicator that I use on that rifle. Any more powder than that needs one tap very firm tap to the rear by the hand to extract the case the first short amount. I hate an early discard of brass which determines my working velocities. Also, the RSI lab is a neat tool for factory cartridges where ball park pressures are published. Between the RSI and a good chrono you have it pretty much nailed. On a wild cat it takes a little more shooting to determine an max pressure goal. [/QUOTE]
