[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1629490, member: 2736"] The bottom line is that it is a great cartridge and has it's place. there will always be cartridges that will out perform it, but in the hands of someone that knows it's strengths and weaknesses, it can be great and do everything that I was intended to. In my mind, there are very few bad cartridges, just some that are less desirable for many reasons other than just how fast they will push a bullet. SAMMI pressures are set to protect the shooter and consider the weapons strength and use. one of the best known cartridges still in use with these restrictions is the 45/70. there are at least 3 different pressure levels for it and you would be foolish to use the top pressure loading's for a bolt gun in an old Trap door. Besides the weapon's strength, there is always the case designed strength. It is smart business to load under maximum SAMMI pressures and very foolish to exceed them. If you want more velocity, get a bigger faster cartridge designed for more pressure. Don't ask any cartridge to go beyond it's design and you will have less problems and be happy with it's performance. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
