[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2560375, member: 7999"] Primers are difficult to read. They are part of the equation. Feel your rifle. How the bolt feels at mild load compared to how it feels as you climb in pressure. Look at your case head for extractor marks. Watch for changes from mild to higher pressure. Check your primer pockets by decapping and seating a new primer. Are they still stiff to seat or seat more easily than unfired? All of these together tell the pressure story. I loaded the 140g Absolute Hammer in a 22" barrel 280ai with h100v to 3400 fps. This was with Peterson brass. So your 3300 fps tells me you are starting to build some pressure. Every rifle is diff. Work up carefully watching all of the indicators of pressure together. [/QUOTE]
