It's basically the same measurement as the typical factory load. Figure if you stick with that, you can't go wrong

Reading around I came across an interesting article where case head expansion was compared to pressure. Figured others might like reading his findings, but to summarise he found expansion on some rounds that were well under max pressure and no expansion on some that were definitely over pressure
