    Rifles being rifles, I feel that because every single rifle is different to the next even if it is the identical match as far as batches goes, not even considering custom chambers and throat length, nor brass types, it’s easy for someone to proudly tout their fast as hell load for all to see, and someone to try to copy and find over pressure results. Aside from that, just because you see no primer signs, no heavy bolt lift or ejector swipe, does not mean you are at a safe pressure. I have heard of people filling away at their ejector to avoid swipe on their cases with a hot load. It’s up to the information pursuer to exhaust as much internet material, be it online forums and manufacturers load data, cross reference it all and then apply it to their own rifle, starting safely and working upwards to find accurate loads and happy brass
