[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1160464, member: 28965"] Pick up the Speer #14 manual, it has two listings one for the older military actions and one for modern commercial actions. There is approximately a five grain increase in the powder charge with the newer actions. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and the pressures for older military rifles are usually given for the oldest models made. Example the No.4 Enfield rifle was made of higher grade steel than the No.1 Enfield rifle. And the No.4 Enfield rifle was latter chambered in .308/7.62 In your Tikka you are only limited by the strength of the brass, and Lapua and other European ammunition manufactures will be making the strongest brass.
