Pressure signs are pressure signs, no matter the action; be it a bolt, lever, semi, single shot or pump.

~ Flattened primers
~ Hard to eject cases after firing
~ Raised Ring around where the firing pin hit
~ Ripped off rims due to stuck cases in the rifle
~ cracks in the neck or shoulder region (indicative of reloaded too many times)
~ cracks near the Base of the cartridge

Others may have check for additional pressure signs.

In my case, I'm shooting a Belgium made Browning .338 BAR Safari Express, most typically with 200gr pills. It has a 26" barrel and shoots like a dream; with the trigger being my only disappointment.

Generally speaking, Chronographs also help to tell you where you're going to start seeing pressure signs but is not a sole indicator, best to inspect spent shells and note any stickiness in extraction. Expect slightly less fps than manuals as most use 24" test barrels or some, 26" test barrels for magnums. A typical Sporter barrel is 22".

Any modern or even older cartridge reloading manual will likely be your best source of info. Just realized mine are getting pretty old!
