[QUOTE="hemiford, post: 1099490, member: 72104"] I'm still learning (a lot) here, I hope this isn't a silly question. SAAMI rates a given cartridge for max pressure. I'm not familiar with how this max rating is established, but, there it is. Question, when you build a wildcat on a given cartridge, are you bound by the same max pressure ? I know some manufacturer's brass is more robust than others. So , when you work up new loads, you cannot directly measure your pressures, you must go by visible deformation signs on the brass. Does anyone know if you typically end up at a higher pressure than the SAAMI rating ? [/QUOTE]
