Got broken fingers or are you just lazy, don't want to type out a complete question? Then I won't write a book in hopes of covering that phantom cartridge. Cartridge could be anything from .22 rimfire to 50 BMG, .410 shotshell to the mighty magnum 10.
nyc71, If you did not measure the case before firing start over. I do not find it necessary to test fire all receivers before building a rifle, because some receivers come as suspect it is necessary, there is nothing subtle about excessive pressure, I have cases that have shortened .031 thousands, .031 is at or beyond catastrophic failure for a fired case, I use new cases with .000 head space.
Starting over, there are signs of the beginning of high pressure warnings before excessive is accomplished. One of the most boring conversation I can get into is the CUP, PSI, strain gage discussion and their correlation to one or the other, everyone has their favorite cut and paste, reminds me of the elephant as told by the Hindu.
I was asked if I had any interest in all or part of 100,000+ test fired cases, about 25% had the CUP imprint on the case body, and I said outside of reloading, “NO”
“can you tell if there was excessive pressure on the brass?” Yes, again, if you did not measure the case before firing, start over.
