Reading pressure signs on new brass

[nphunter]

Curious on people’s experience or opinions. This is once fired on the second firing .243 brass. Loaded with 107’s and 41.5gr of h4350, there are defiantly ejector marks on the brass but no pressure signs on the primers and no tight bolt issues. I backed off .5gr after the initial firing due to seeing ejector/extractor marks after the first firing.

This ammos shooting .75” 5 shot groups, ES of 30 and SD of 9, shooting 2770ish from a 16” tikka fast twist.

Reloaded once fired.


Same brass after being fired.

You can’t really tell pressure on new brass unless you’re totally wrecking it.
That is a top end load and I would run with it unless you see a reason not to.

Eh you are maybe shortening brass life. With those results who cares, f***ing send it!
