    A couple of suggestions that may be worth a try .
    Measure the web adjacent/close to the case head , if there's 0.001" expansion when compared to a new case its over pressure . I believe accepted expansion is about 0.0003" .
    Alternatively, measure case volume of a fired case and enter all the load details into GRT to get a predicted pressure .
    Norma brass is regarded as good quality brass , it may have lower case capacity than that used in development of data you're using . Unless it's Normas' data , in which case I now look foolish. Meh , what tthe hell, you don't know me 😇
