[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3040868, member: 43503"] As I said, walk on the wild side if you wish. I just don't see the point, yu don't gain enough to justify it. As for the "experts", I don't think any of them are true interior bsllistics engineers, or rifle design engineers. Engineers build in margins of safety, to account for what they can't control. Exceeding book max, you are eating into those margins, without even knowing what they are there for. As I said, you'll likely get away with it, but maybe your bolt sticks sometime in some critical circuamstance ? From the design, I'd expect Hammers to be faster at given pressure. But you don't have any idea how much. As an engineer familiar with design, I do try to stay within the design envelope. For sound reasons. Well, modern sort of means modern bolt action rifle, using modern steel, all of which can withstand pressures over SAAMI, SAAMI limits are drawn to protect those old rifles. Load manuals reflect their test barrels and testing methods. [/QUOTE]
