The primer you pictured is not showing any pressure signs. Looks normal and happy to me.

I'm using 19.2g of 2400 w/240xtp and the load looks compressed but I'm using Hornady's data.

I also load 19.2g of 2400 w/240g Sierra JHP's, which seats deeper than the 240 XTP. I'm using data from Sierra's book

I use 19.2g of 2400 with Miester 240g lead bullets. I'm using data from the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook.

All of these loads look like they are compressing. None are showing pressure signs. All of the velocities are as published using the LabRadar. All three loads are from ladder testing and all are the most accurate of the test. I guess my SBH just likes 19.2g of 2400.

I'm loading for a 10.5" Super Blackhawk
