Why pushing so hard in a short barrel? ( I'm not one to throw stones in glass houses tho)
If going to the trouble and expense of getting new norma brass I wouldn't want to be hurting it unduly, find preasure signs and back off tilll just gone is your max.

I’m pushing hard to get maximum foot pounds of energy downrange. What would be considered unacceptable pressure signs ? Ejector marks on the brass ?

Yup...if you want case life that is.
Any case head extrusion into bolt recesses or stiff bolt lift or opening...if you are getting that you are over pressure and may only get 5 or less reloads before the primer pocket is loose or other chambering issues surface.
