[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1446828, member: 4191"] The force against the bolt face is the same in a specific cartridge and load whether the rim of a case is rebated to a smaller diameter or left at the larger diameter. Reducing the rim diameter may allow better function on some bolt faces. Reducing the cartridge operating pressure will reduce the force applied to the bolt face, of course. Which would explain why the gunsmith would insist on a lower operating pressure. Most gunsmiths aren't going to chamber a rifle for a cartridge that can't safely be loaded to normal maximum operating pressure. Because future gun owners/reloaders will undoubtedly exceed the lower pressure spec'd by the gunsmith. And then blame the gunsmith for any damages. Too much risk and increased liability exposure.
