Load developement using the Satterlee method

Agreed.
Though I never saw a reason to reach into the 42s.
I've seen guys blow primers & they're always over 42.

A lot of guns will run up there but some won't all the more reason to take a little time and see if and where you run into pressure.

I'm not advocating anyone just keep going until they find pressure but if my gun shoots well at 42.1 for example I'd want to verify it's not going to blow primers or get ejector marks at 42.3

I like to know how far away from pressure I am with a load before I put 100 rounds of tuning into a load too close to pressure.

My 26 inch criterion takes 42.5 to reach 2810.. the node i run in.. i went to 43 working up my load and just started seeing light ejector marks.. although that unusual to need that much powder to get there it happens.. all barrels are different.. thats why we start low..
