[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1261267, member: 2736"] + 1 Well said !!!!! When I was young and bullet proof I pushed many cartridges to and beyond there limit. The end results were always predictable But I lived with it and thought it was necessary to get the velocity and trajectory I wanted. Some of these rifles actually liked the overpressure loads and shot better the faster I pushed them. As I got older and wiser, I realized that there was a better way than sacrificing brass on a single loading and washing out a barrel after 6 or 700 rounds. The simple solution was to increase case capacity, bullet weight and lengthen barrel length to get everything I wanted without trashing brass, and setting the recoil lugs back. Now when I build or wildcat a cartridge, I decide what performance level I want for it's intended use, with the bullet I would "Like " to use and go from there with a max PSI pressure of 63,000 PSI that will achieve that level of performance. With these parameters decided it is easy to pick a cartridge that will fill my needs without over stressing the cartridge. Every cartridge has its limits and if you stay within those limits they are very dependable and safe. with as many different choices of cartridges as we have today, There is no reason to push a cartridge beyond safe pressure levels unless the shooter knows the risk and excepts them. Sometimes the person only has a couple of rifles and feels the need to push one to get more velocity and exceeds max pressure. In reality the difference in performance is very little from near max pressure to over pressure but the problems increase as pressure goes up. Just the opinion of someone that has been there and done that. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
