I run 1gr over max in the adi book But will keep an eye on it
Thanks
I use quickload to help find my max load so it could be over book max,
I'm using 60.5 grains of 2209 with a 168 gr projectile in my 30-06
no pressure signs at 2890 fps
quickload says this is at 58228 psi, well under max of 60000 psi
norma is good brass but I get better primer pocket life with winchester cases
I should also say that I am used to getting up to 20 firings per case and with the norma I am probably getting 8-9 before I start seeing primer pockets growing
I anneal about every 5-6 firings, I have found when you start to feel a pressure difference when seating bullet to bullet it is time to anneal
