Looking at the primers for cratering means nothing if there is excessive clearance between the firing pin and the bolt. They will all look cratered in that scenario.I will agree it's very hard to pick pressure from the ass end of a case look at the first picture I deliberately overloaded a couple of cases first one I stopped and rightfully so have a look.

Now if you know anything about a 260 Remington first load is warm , it was a great rifle shot unbelievably well out to1200 yards I would not recommend anybody use loads .

Trying to read pressure from a primer very hard to do the way I do it is if you can get 7 or 8 handloads out of a case before you need to bump a shoulder you have a good working load .
