How to identify PRESSURE signs?

[Michigan Chris]

7mm RSAUM range day, ran a few new loads using Rem. brass, CCI BR, 65.4 H1000. I am a bit new to reloading and was advised that a similar load (66.4 gr H1000) shot through my rifle was showing a bit of stress. How do I tell if the load is too HOT, signs of too much pressure? Is there a link with (pics) showing what to look for?

Borden Alpine Action, Brux custom cut Rem varmint barrel.


Thanks is advance and Best Regards.

A bolt that's difficult to lift after firing and/or "clicks" at the top of cycling is usually an indication of a load that's too hot. Also, flattened or severely cratered primers will indicate a possible load problem.
This also presumes that the rifle is functioning correctly and the brass was sized right.

Thank you Sir, I will certainly look for this.

Chris,

Just wondering what is the reason for the two threads that ask the same question? You had me a bit confused trying to figure out where my reply had gone. I thought the Forum Boss or the Moderator had removed my post and I was wandering why?
