Went out and shot a few 300 yd pressure ladders with my new 6.5x47 Lapua and Reloader 17.

No pressure signs to speak of; easy bolt lift/extraction, no weird vel readings, no gross case rim growth, no ejector marks, last few rounds had some primer cratering but I don't consider that a deal breaker unless accompanied by other pressure signs. I could push it even a bit more, but why?
Not counting round #3, the group was 3" wide x 2" high with a 5.5 gr powder increase.
