Hi to all! I want to reload 7.62's for the saiga I've ordered from gunfinder (right now I have a mac90) useing a Lee progressive.
I've read more than one reloader saying to "watch for pressure signs."
How do I see these pressure signs and can I learn them before doing any damage?
Thanks... Stuart

Your Lee set should have some photos but two sure signs is flatten primer or one that is pierced.

If you don't go over the maximum powder charges listed in reloading manuals you will have no problems with excessive pressure.

OK, Thanks. I'll start at ten percent down and work up to either max recommended or signs of excessive pressure.
Later... Stuart
