    flat primers dont mean too much in my experience cratered primer dents can mean its getting a bit hot but unless its really bad i tend to let it slide a bit

    mainly looking at ejector stamps and or tight bolt lift as signs I'm pushing my luck back of at least 0.5gn from the 1st signs of stamping or tight bolt lift
    and call that my max for that combination in that rifle

    i use data in loading manuals as a very rough Gide only even if the rifle shoots well in a low node I'm not all that interested I'm only interested in the high node
    so, most of my loads are above the "max" load sometimes by a fair amount too i let the rifle tell me what max is just work up slow

    loading data is piss weak these days
