I am really new to reloading so please indulge me on this one. Could somebody please tell me what the signs of too much pressure on a brass case would look like. I have been working up a load but I realized that I have never seen a caes that was subjected to too much pressure. Is there a web site that has some pictures on it. I am a regular dumb*ss

and pictures really help me. By the way I have been working up a load on my 45 ACP and it has been fun, but trying. I start with a 200 grain plated Rainier bullet over 5.1 grains of Unique. I am now at 6.6 grains of Unique and all is still good. But I want to be sure of the signs before proceeding. All of the other brass looks the same as the lowest start load. I really wasn't expecting to get as high with the Rainier.

Thanks for all of your help.
