[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1382377, member: 101859"] If some one is working up to pressure say .5 gn.s at a time theres a lot of signs before it becomes dangerous. Primers are not the best because they vary in thickness. Ejector marks are usually your first real good sign, after that you will start to feel some increased resistance one the bolt lift. Thats when you need to stop. Velocity is a poor judge because powder lots vary, and bore dimensions cause large swings in velocity. I have seen more than one guy smacking his bolt handle to open the rifle and continuing to shoot. [/QUOTE]
