Is it calibrated for actual case volume and throat dimensions? I don't trust the tools absolutely but if you're getting 250ish FPS faster than what the tool says is mid 50k PSI, you're probably above SAAMI pressure. Whether that is a problem or not, beats me.
Have you had primer pockets actually get loose on Alpha or Lapua SRP brass in a standard case head? I'd think that a guy would would have to be pretty damn hot to get that kind of result.
I have. When working up loads for my 7-08AI, I had a pretty spicy Varget/162 ELDX load that would loosen up primer pockets on Lapua brass after 3 firings. No bolt lift issues or ejector swipe at all.
Dropped it down by 1.2 grains and I am at 12 firings on that brass without an issue.
