handgun overpressure signs

The first sign is when loads exceed any published maximum, ay?

IME there is often NO sign that the pressure is unsafe, until your chrongraph tells you (although there WAS this one 44 Magnum case that required a big hammer to remove from the cylinder, once we'd hammered the cylinder open. The case looked a wee bit funny, and the headstamp was gone. Ruger service was great.)
