Howdy all, I've been loading for all rifle types and revolvers for 25 yrs now. I'm fairly new to the auto pistol scene, I've got a USP and just bought a Kimber .45. Are pressure signs similar with the autos? I mean do I look for flattened or cratered primers as in other autos? No sticky bolt to turn or sticky case to eject from a cylinder. What other pressure signs to I look for? I just loaded up some Precision 230 gr. lead RN over 4.8 and 5.0 grains of Titegroup and a fed. LP primer. I averaged 880 fps with the 4.8 load and 950 fps with the 5.0 load out of the Kimber, a little slower with the shorter tubed HK. No Pressure signs, but 950 seems a little fast for the 230 gr. even though it's a "coated" bullet. TIA, Gary
