Default RE: Too hot factory

ORIGINAL: Prairie Wolf

I guess I might be off topic posting about factory ammo in the reloading forum, but I don't think too many non-reloaders know much about pressure signs.

I am wondering what to do now. I think I will buy a cam lock bullet puller and pull the bullets, dispose of the powder, and load them with a reduced load to shoot varmints. Then I can at least use the brass and the bullets.
OR, you can pull the bullets, weigh the charge (average of five), then reduce that charge 5%, reload acouple with this new amount of that same powder, and test-fire them. A 5% reduction will probably be enough to avoid the overage.......
