Shooting them. Heres a picture from yesterday showing what i mean. 3 shot group from left to right with the same below max powder charge, same seating depth, 2932fps average, ES of 7fps. I have been to 3008fps with another 1.5gr of powder & not seen pressure signs on some of my other hornady brass.
As you can see all the primers look roughly "the same amount of flat" for lack of a better term. As above MV showed the 2nd shot to be the same speed as the rest, yet bolt was hard to lift & as you can see the brass is done. Just deprimed them, Shot 1 & 3 the primers still snug, shot 2 which is showing all the "pressure" the primer pocket is gone, primer almost fell out.
