[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 831457, member: 1521"] Firing does not work harden brass, sizing does, and sizing is managed. There are choices in it. Seems low to me. Where did you come up with that? What sticks in my mind is 55K-60KpSI being rational and a limit point, beyond which, I measure sizing step changes(prices to pay). I never mean't to imply this as a better limit for everyone, but that it can be considered as a reference, for hunting capacity cartridges, regardless of their SAAMI limits. I currently shoot a 6.5WSSM (not a WSM, but WSM cases-cut shorter). My accuracy load produces ~3050fps with 139Laps at just under 60Kpsi(from QL), and it's accurate enough and powerful enough to kill deer to transonic ranges. Anyone can surely run higher pressures, I have plenty of margin, but I can think of no gain in it(overall) for hunting capacity cartridges. Shooters have the option to pick a capacity where they meet there goals with a full case and chosen bullet -without the prices of excess pressure. Right? What gain is there in higher pressures with large cartridges? While most cartridges of older design, and/or pushed to max pressures or beyond, will need body sizing, Nothing in this realm 'is a must'. Everything can be managed as everything has it's prices. Certainly excess sizing can be eliminated through choices. This is another stretch I'm sure. You spoke for me earlier, and now you speak for almost every LR competitor.. Why do you set yourself up like this? Have you, or anyone at 6mmbr.com suceeded in lead dip annealing? I do lead dip anneal,, I actually know how to do it and what it is I'm doing,, therein lies a difference between known and unknown. Until you convince me that you know anything about it, anything at all, I'll just dismiss your whining on this. [/QUOTE]
