Gday lou
Just a simple minded fella here
I'll ask for the new folks a couple points you put up
how much is never shoot enough ? & this flows into these couple of sums in the following
if a action is rated @100k & we run loads to 75/ 80 k
When can we expect a action failure 100 , 1000 , 10000 rounds or more
Now compare this to a sammi spec of 65 k loads please
Lastly loads to 100k
& please don't dismiss this as it's a legitimate question that ultimately won't only help the new folks it will also the majority imo
Cheers
Brass is not like a shear pin either. Shear pins and fuses are designed to let go at specific limits to protect equipment, rifle brass is not. You don't buy a higher amp fuse so you can run more current through a circuit as that defeats the purpose of a fuse. What is getting proposed (at least sounds to me) is that running stronger brass lets you run higher pressures at lower risk. But there is no reduction in risk. The accumulated stress of higher pressure is what causes increased fatigue and risk of failure, not necessarily a single overload. Maybe you have confidence your action/barrel can handle it or never shoot enough to see a problem. Again, it is just a poor analogy or metaphor for folks who may be new to this. If you are pushing the edge you should understand what is going on
