Thread: So what do I use for pressure signs then

This is a follow up to this thread https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....-primer-47618/
The rifle was sent by the importer to Arthur clealand
Who among other things said that the ring was just the rifle breaking in
This was @gundocs suggestion Aswell so all good Geuss I’ll just deal with it till it inproves
Its fired 200 rounds now so should be comeing right soon

Anyway so I can discount the ring as a pressure sign these are not ejector marks
I can probably also discount a slightly tight bolt lift as it’s rubbing on the cases

I will probably still be able to spot ejector marks when they are there as they will be closer to the edge of the cases
And Obviously primer cratering

Im gonna start pushing the pressure up abit so i need to have a good way of spotting pressure while disregarding the little quirks of the rifle
It’s only pushing a 123gn at 2718 atm (mild load) but im hopefully going to get it closer to 3000

Cheers
