Too much pressure, or right at the edge?

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. :p

educate me.. what is the indicator of pressure we are looking for here.

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.

Thanks FLT and Rumbler.

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

Googled and found this pic.
