[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2682727, member: 121268"] To clarify my question how "fine" of a grain ladder do you need to safely find max pressure? OCW load dev this summer... I had reached velocities on the higher end before I found pressure signs, so next range session I loaded only 3 rounds with 0.1g increase, I fired all fine but didnt notice a huge increase in pressure. So next range session I loaded another 3 rounds with another 0.1g increase in charge weight. I fired 2 fine, but the third I finally felt a slight heavy bolt lift. Since I was at max velocity for typical published data for similar bullets, so I stopped there. but, what if I used the 1 full grain per bullet method to find pressure? [/QUOTE]
