[QUOTE="can1010, post: 3069096, member: 43193"] there used to be smiths on here that built their own actions and had them proof tested at 125,000+psi. having a larger barrel tenion for more steel around the chamber and Alpha has a very strong head design it is possible to go 80,000+psi. i am not convinced their calculations were that accurate. using quickload to determine pressure by the percentage of velocity difference from actual to predicted would not be my first choice. i would like to see this test done with actual pressure testing equipment and not the swag method. 45-46gr of varget with 168 is a pretty stout and full load going above that with a 215, you make your own conclusion.
