I use a ladder test and read the paper.
Of course, although I intend to focus on readings from a very good chronometer for muzzle velocity uniformity - powder charge node - and dispersion on paper for seating depth node.
My question was a different one - and borne from a certain trepidation from my first time climbing the powder ladder and being (very) wary of going too far. Hopefully I will know early indications of excess pressure when I see them and before I get to bad excess pressure. I'm scouring through all the video and images I can find between now and heading back to the range. Obvious excess pressure is, well, obvious. I'm less sure in that (highly subjective?) grey area where one crosses from 'comfortable' to 'early indications of excess pressure'. I will report back.
