When reloading with Accurate 2520 powder or any other powder, it’s crucial to be vigilant for signs of excessive pressure or abnormalities. Here are some common indicators to watch out for:

1. Difficult Extraction: If you experience difficulty in extracting spent cases from the firearm’s chamber, it may indicate higher-than-normal pressure. This can be a sign that the load is generating excessive pressure, and you should investigate further.
2. Stiff Bolt Lift: If you notice increased resistance when lifting the bolt handle after firing a round, it could indicate elevated pressure levels. This is particularly relevant when reloading for bolt-action rifles.
3. Primer Issues: Pay attention to the primer appearance. Signs of excessive pressure include flattened or cratered primers, pierced primers (visible firing pin indent extending through the primer), or blown primers (where the primer cup separates from the rest of the primer). These are indications that pressure levels may be too high.
4. Case Signs: Examine the fired cases for signs of pressure. Look for bulges, cracks, or other abnormalities on the case walls or the case head. Excessive pressure can cause these issues and may compromise the integrity of the case.
5. Velocity Variations: Significant velocity deviations from what is expected for a particular load can be an indication of inconsistent or excessive pressure. Monitor your velocities using a chronograph to identify any unusual variations.
6. Unusual Recoil or Noise: If you notice a significant increase in recoil or a change in the sound of the shot, it could be an indication of higher pressure levels. Trust your instincts and investigate further if something doesn’t feel or sound right.
