AR15 6 ARC brass over pressure signs

[Vava]

Hi all, I am new to reload for AR15. I reload 6 ARC with LeverEvolution and 103 ELD-X, COAL 2.26" , powder charge 30,2 grain, brass is Starline. Can someone more experienced look at the attached pictures to say whether there are any excessive pressure signs?

Really appreciate, I have searched for a guidance but still will be more happy to hear some result first hand (...and not to brake the lugs )

One of the pressure signs can be an ejector swipe. Its hard to tell this from a static photo. You kind of need to pass the base across a beam of light and look for a shiny spot in the reflection.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but there appears to be some minor indentation and smearing.

My eyes are not what they used to be and I agree with chromatica that light is your friend.

My take is the primers are 'flatish' and some of the cases do look like they may have ejector smears.
As mentioned, they'd need closer inspection.

You are hot for a bolt gun, and DEFINITELY too hot for an AR. The data you are running is "bolt gun" levels, except in an AR-15. There is different data for each of these.

AR-15's are pressure limited in the 6 ARC/6.5 Grendel due to the case head vs bolt lug dimensions. The larger case head versus a 223 means the lugs are thinner in comparison.

Thank you very much ALL for the help! I will definitelly go down with the load.
