If you change brass or not, drop it down a tad.

If you decide to go to the PMC brass drop down a couple of grains and work back up. The over all length will change the pressure's by taking the compression off. Some powders work better with compression some don't.

You are right on the edge of the pressure limit for that particular load. Cut back a 1/2 grain and see what happens when you stay with the same overall length as the last. Your crimp is important also.(it can change the pressure)...

Everything is very important when you are on the edge as you are with the pressure signs. You are still ok but you are a little hot.
Sticky cylinder might be the walls are not really polished but when you have a slippery wall you have backward movement faster. (notgood) this will give you a false reading as to flat primer.

When you see the imprint of the firing pin hole and black around the primer you are really close to problems, (don't go any higher in powder amount).

Ruger's are strong but then there is a limit. You have reached it LOL...

Like I said before, cut back 1/2 grain and then see what is happening.
296 is one you dont want to be underpowered either, tricky one to tell, but you are not on the underside of it.
You are on the high side...

480 Ruger is the next step for you. Six shot and just like you 44...Good gun. Cannot beat those investment casted dudes.

Good luck,
Harley
