    I find velocity a pretty good indicator, but usually I will look at a culmination of things and then the velocity kinda just confirms it.
    primer flattening, ejector stamp and or swipe, heavy bolt, loose primer pockets etc however not all cartridges give these symptoms (apparently AI cartridges are renowned for this)
    I generally try to stay away from pressure so most of the time i am not loading max loads, it's still nice to know. I'm more interested in consistent velocity and accuracy
    rewa and janleroux like this.
