Sounds like your load development was done as done in the right way. My only concern would be that sometimes “pressure signs” don’t show up until a load is way over acceptable pressure. I’m not trying to be overly critical here; but I would suggest using a chronograph when developing loads. Maybe the best $100 or so you’ll ever spend. By the way, welcome to the campfire.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
