I'm going to try a couple new bullets for which there is very little information...the 276 and 300gr Sledge Hammers in my 45-70 1895 SBL. Historically I've had load data to base decisions off and often find myself using mild loads based on this information to be clear in the safe but since these 2 bullets don't have a lot of info out there I was curious what you guys feel is the most reliable sign of pressure. I'm not looking to push the edge just need help finding it for load data. I know some people say to follow known expected velocities and others mention extraction but I'm told once you get to tough extraction you're already in a dangerous situation.
Thoughts?
