Pressure signs in .45ACP are not always easily detectable. The cartridge itself is a relatively low-pressure round, compared to .40 S&W or 9mm or .38spl, so it is somewhat forgiving with regard to pressure.
I would simply pay more attention to your reloading manuals, (consult several)and stay within the guidelines. If your gun is sound, and you are using quality brass in good shape, then you will be fine, even when approaching max. loads.
There is not much improvement in velocity and usually diminishing accuracy as you start pushing the envelope of a given load. The .45ACP cartridge is not designed for warp speed. Best results are usually found with a mid to mid-high loading as far as accuracy and velocity.
