This is something that everyone who reloads the Grendel and ARC needs to know and I am certain that it frustrates a lot of people. There is really no way to know when you are right at "AR-bolt-safe" pressure. Typical overpressure signs don't start until you are significantly past it.
As an aside, I would love to know the strength of CMMG's "mutant" bolt. It is significantly larger than the standard AR15 bolt, so I wonder if it would tolerate a "Super Grendel" load with brass that was strong enough.
