[QUOTE="jdgabbard, post: 1326202, member: 4614"] If you were seeing over pressure the edges of the primer would in fact be more "squared off." Yet they are still rounded. I had a problem similar to this with my first .38spl loads when i first started. Was using a 158g SWC loaded over 4g of unique. I noticed I was getting a lot of soot and unburned powder in the cases, cylinders and barrel. I upped the load to 4.2g of unique and the problem resolved itself, and I started putting groups of 0.78" on paper at 25 meters. Now with the Data stated abover that 3.5g was max, I'd seriously look at a different powder. Unique, bullseye, etc. There are too many other powders out there that work in multiple calibers. For example I use unique in plinker loads with rifles...and some mid range loads as well...just about any standard caliber with a 100-130g cast lead projectile... And its my go to in EVERY pistol caliber I load for with the exception of magnums... [/QUOTE]
