[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1389826, member: 4191"] True yesterday, true today, true tomorrow. And that's what I was thinking when Edd expressed opinion about cartridge operating pressures. I'm the one combining the witches' brew of explosive materials into a nice shiny neat container and setting them off. Doesn't make much difference the cartridge. Not like a lamb being led to slaughter. Each rifle is different. Each cartridge loaded different. I control the outcome of the witches' brew I feed into my rifle. Poof! :eek: No eyebrows due to excessive pressures - my fault. I've only fired two bullets in my 30/375 S.I., and I still have my eyelids and eyebrows. Sacrificed one Hornady casing, perhaps a defective one at that. Not too bad... :D I'd like to know why the difference - the lower pressure & MV load loses its primer. The higher pressure & MV case head survives to be reloaded another day. Would be nice to send these two casings into ADG, Lapua, Peterson, Lake City, Federal, or another case manufacturer with the ability to test brass case head strength. But there's nothing in it for them other than ugly, so why bother. That would be the next, most logical step. But only if the option was available at a VERY low cost. Because I'm cheap.:) [/QUOTE]
