[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1100444, member: 1521"] Consider why and how max pressures would compare. Each of these cartridges present different chamber areas(h20 capacities). The 500J is smaller than the 505G, the 408CT is smaller than the 416B. The smaller the chamber area, the lower the forces applied, given an example xxxxxPSI. A larger diameter chamber also means less barrel steel around it, given an example action potential. A cartridge lower in shoulder angle + higher in body taper + higher in case head area produces greater bolt thrust and lower functional survivability of the brass. As far as recent cartridges, I suspect their maximum pressure ratings are merely paid for, and with submitted anecdotal evidence for backing basis.. But we'll see for ourselves [/QUOTE]
