First cow elk hide is laying over the back of my couch as I type this . I look at it frequently and it brings the whole experience back .
Yea , do it !
Ejector marks means brass is flowing into the ejector recess in the bolt face . If brass is flowing pressure is way high for the case .If you have a case or three that are softer you have a blown primer and or a ruptured case .
If your see ejector marks your already past YOUR max .
Without pressure measuring equipment you don't have any idea where you are . Book maximums are there for a reason. You want more speed get a bigger cased cartridge.
I don't think this gentleman wants any "attention " . The camping and food and comeradery are as important to some hunters as going" steep and deep" are to others .
