308 loads

[Metal God]

My most frequent pressure sign is a sticky bolt so I never get to the point of seeing it on the cases . I've had some pretty flat primers .

If I may ask , Why are you asking the question . It seems like one of those questions a persons asks when that isn't the real question they want answered . I feel there is more to this question then you're letting on . If your load is mid charge for the bullet . I'd doubt anyone has seen pressure signs on the brass . Even if there are a few guys getting high pressures . You're going to have to get lucky and hope they read this thread .

It wasn't a trick question. I'm curious as to whether or not anyone had experienced case issues in their guns with that load, as I, so far, have not. Since I'm trying to load for other guns I've not used hand loads in, I thought it would be prudent to ask around. Other members of loading sites have indicated pressure signs at around 45grns in some cases. I'm leaning toward being on the safe side and calling 44grns good, just to be sure.

If you are loading for other guns then stay on the safe side. How much do you know about the other guns? If all you know is that they are .308 then you need to be at least 10% below a book max load. If you know the freebore, bore diameter, chamber reamer used then you can more reasonably design a load.
