[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1385789, member: 98561"] While i've never blown a primer i often wonder where i stand pressure wise and how safe it is. Take the 6.5x47 people (including myself) constantly push well past what manuals state for the little cartridge to get the extra velocity out of it. The brass last forever and it seems fine. Based on what my friends say with quickload the pressure is well up there. Ejector marks, flattened primers, and tight bolt lift are what i look for. I had been scratching my head for a while shooting suppressed in cold temperature and getting random pressure spikes on what was manual safe. Turned out i had water/liquid in the chamber some how, be it condensation or lube, idk, but it it was the direct result of my pressure spike in my short 6.5x47. I think reading primers also holds merit but truthfully without a high res image and magnifying it i'm always skeptical of my ability to do so. [/QUOTE]
