If that is what you are relying on for your load development then it verges on just pack the powder in 'till the gun blows up and then back off a few grains, if you are still alive or able bodied afterwards.
Thats a bit harsh bud, I'm looking of other signs of pressure to:
Excessive Recoil
Hard Extraction
Flattened Primers
Extruded Primers
Just thought someone could help out thats all.
I'm saddened that you find safety advice "harsh".
Helping out is what I am trying to do but if you aren't interested then it is your fingers/face/hands/life however it could be not just you on the firing line.
Those signs are as useful and safe as your previous ones.
If people feel the need to push pressure and velocity levels for their application then they are obviously using the wrong calibre/round/load for that application.
Come on Bambi get some
Imperial Good Metric Bad
Analogue Good Digital Bad
