I was testing out a new load today and this was my max, 24grs. Ramshot X-Terminator, Hornady 55gr FMJBT, CCI#41 and LC once fired brass. No pierced primers but they look a little flat.
My normal load is 23.5grs but the cases were a little "sooty" so I figured I would go alittle higher at 23.7 and 24. At 24 they were still "sooty" 
So what do you think, too much pressure?

Hot. I can see ejector marks in some of the cases, but not nearly as distinct as I've seen elsewhere. How can you distinguish newer ejector marks versus ones from previous firing? The distinct dots are a code to record manufacturing information. I can see only one ejector mark; those run off the edge of the head. The indication is very slight and I see no sign of smearing or bending by the ejector. |

My answer, I don't think you can. I guess next time you load to check for pressure signs, inspect the brass before and after shooting so you know for sure. |
