No signs of overpressure. In fact they felt like they could have used a little more. The perceived recoil impulse and muzzle blast felt stiffer with the 240 XTPs and 38gr Lil Gun than with the Swagers and 38gr Lil Gun. Mind you that was my impression. Almost like they don't obturate enough or they were more slippery in the bore. Since the brass were my life cycle study ones, I had my caliper and micrometer with me measuring them after each shot. Supra-web swelling was on par with other loads in that range of Lil Gun. I believe they could have easily gone to 40gr. In a couple of my benchrest/varmint rifles, I've experimented with MoS, WS2 and HBN coated bullets. They gave me that same feeling when fired as the brass swagers.
All my accuracy test pictures are from 100 yards. Concrete table. Rock BR1000 front rest and Protektor Rabbit ear rear bag. Soon, I'm going to have to start training offhand and offhand tree rest for deer season with this rig.
