    Too much pressure, or right at the edge?

    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    I'd read that as "safe". You still have some room to go, but it's not a "medium" load.


    But you know how my tendencies.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    That is 11gr of lil gun, pushing a 208 gr amax. Hits steel with authority. The shards off the bullet are knocking leaves and small branches off the tree.

    The round edges of the primer start flattening, and you don't see a gap between the primer and the brass, for one.

    You're good Dale . That should be pushing close to 1400 FPS.

    Slightly longer COAL, more pressure. Gotta back either the COAL down a little or reduce powder a little.

    Or use harder primers? These are regular SR primers, not Nato spec.

    You need to be able to see the radius on the outer edge off the primer.
