[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 851394, member: 39801"] Hi Greg - I don't fully subscribe to this way of thinking. I would say that Ackley's deserve additional respect and a conservative approach because they have bot been as fully studied in a test environment as SAAMI cartridges. The idea that you don't know where you can go is somewhat of a dangerous one - if you are 300fps over book loads for .243 (and unless you have a super long barrel or other contributing factor) I would be nervous. Beating up brass is one thing, continuously beating on an action is another . . . I am not pretending to be an expert, just saying use some caution and make sure you are safe. I agree fully with Lefty7mmSTW - if you need to push beyond the tested safe range of a given cartridge to get the performance you need in an application, look to take a step up. I don't think this is a "compensating" type thing, just a generally good practice. . . [/QUOTE]
