To answer to your question, when you can see pressure signs is too late. The pressure limit isn't reach but pressure is overtake compare to pressure limit. CCI primers are very good. What are your load in .357 Mag
Bullet weight, powder used, how many grains,... After that I'll tell you more

Here is what I suggest...
For 95's...N-350 From 10.6 grains to 11.7 grains with CCI-550 Primer
For 125's...N-350 From 9.0 grains to 10.8 grains CCI-550 Primer
For 140's...N-350 From 8.1 grains to 10.1 grains with CCI-550 Primer

and click on .357 mag
I advice you to take N110 (ideal for max loads) slower than N350.

95 jhp w/ 12.4 gr N350 FORGET THIS BULLET TOO LIGHT AND LOAD TOO HOT YOU OVER TAKE MAX LOAD
125 gr GoldDot w/ 11.3 gr N350 MAX LOAD WITH N350 9.5gr YOU OVERTAKE MAX LOAD 2 GR!!!!!!
140 gr Speer jhp w/ 10.2 gr N350 MAX LOAD WITH N350 9gr YOU OVERTAKE MAX LOAD 1 GR!!!!!

ric,
thanks for the advice. i'll back off a bit, all the rounds i shot were a little fast for their bullet design anyway (except for the golddots, the still stayed together!) just wanted to know the upper limits, and now i do. thanks again, nate
