[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 953356, member: 10178"] With powders in the slow burn rate like H4831 you can't get enough powder in a 270 win. case to cause a blow up of an action. Before an action will blow up from pressure the bolt will lock up until you can't get it open. Before that happens you will blow primers out of the case if you are working up loads with some of the faster powders. Don't worry about a blow up if you use load data from the powder or bullet manufacturer and start at starting load and work up slowly. If you go off on your own and do something like fill a rifle case up with Bullseye pistol powder like I once witnessed a fellow do YOU WILL BLOW UP A RIFLE. [/QUOTE]
