    @raspy I just plugged your numbers into GRT for 42gr, the velocity matches your actual pretty well, but predicted pressure is nearly 78,000psi, max allowable pressure is 60,000.
    Things could turn very bad very quick, you are probably lucky it hasn't already. I wouldn't be surprised if your brass is trashed already, it's probably safest to bin the fired cases from the higher loads.
