ok, I've loaded lots and lots of centerfire, for hunting, plinking, and cross-the-course ammo. I like to think I have a pretty good handle on when things are getting up there pressure wise.

So now I'm going to reload for a 1894 30-30. I know it doesn;t (at least in factory form) generate enough pressure to make the brass flow, as primers stick out a little.

So other than relying on the reloading manuals, can someone give me some indications on when I'm getting too hot for a 1894?

I'm tempted to just load by chronograph, matching the velocities of a chronographed factory load.

Thanks in advance
