[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3040422, member: 43503"] Most modern bolt actions will withstand huge pressures, way over SAAMI limits. But brass will not, it's the limiting factor in considering pressure, and the reason that SAAMI peak pressure limits are set at or below 65,000 psi. That limit also helps to ensure that your rifle continues to function reliably under all environmental conditions. Best to stay within manual max; certainly watch for pressure signs, but if you're seeing them, back off! If manual max shows pressure signs in your rifle, I'd assume something is wrong that needs to be fixed before you proceed. [/QUOTE]
