Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Question about pressure signs when working up a new load?

Thanks for the reply's everyone.

I am using a chronograph. The manual shows 3414fps for a 130 grain bullet with the powder weight I used. The two rounds I fired(which left ejector marks)chronoed 3459 and 3470. So just a little above book velocity. I don't consider this to be too abnormal. I have a 25-06 that often exceeds book velocity without showing signs of pressure.

Sorry for sounding like a neophyte, but how do guys use your chronograph to determine max or above max loads?

Thanks.
