Good, it almost sounded like your agenda might be more than everyones safety.

Glad to hear that! I go through this with every new cartridge and most people who have loaded for years are very happy with them and no missing fingers or toes yet!
I do list top velocity attainable and test in my own rifles, just as most other knowledgable people do. Normally, the loads that will be used are lower than what is obtainable.
Just like any other cartridge!!
And yes, testing still needs to be done.

Ok so why throw out a number that you haven't even tested yet on brass that's a pipe dream? im going to go out on a limb here and say that your not the first person to have a 40 deg 86gr case "short" case and they didnt hit 3100 with a 215? just a wild guess

For sure, and 100's of others are wrong.
People read things however they want.
No problem
Not sure what that means. This is why SAAMI was formed.For sure, and 100's of others are wrong.

Rich is a salesman. He makes a product that he wishes to sell. Nothing wrong with that. Both men deserve respect and that's what they'll get from me. Thankfully we have people like Ryan out there that will call out concerns when he sees them. Rich never said the brass will last forever. However, he does have superior chamber designs that may extend case life. Who knows. All it is is a drawing on a piece of paper right now. Let's just keep the respect and wait to see what happens. Maybe someone will be eating crow soon. Maybe not

What I mean is, I have 100's of people loading Shermans who also load MANY other cartridges, mostly saami, and they dont do anything any differently!
If you dont want one, dont build it. If you do build it, load it according to your standards.
You're waisting my time.
I am not sure where this turned south towards me. In any case I don't care. I made zero negative comments about the case, we know nothing about, Rich proposed. I am assuming it went south when I said good luck to those wanting 3050 out of 195s in a SAUM sized case.
Really Rich? I have one of your cases but that absolutely stupid statement just made sure It will be the last. Think before you type. What a joke!
I was pointing out that I appreciate you trying to keep things between the lines. I'm not trying to turn it south on you. Or Rich. I appreciate his desire to push the envelope and I appreciate your desire to keep people safe. I've learned a ton from you over the last few years. Nothing but respect Ryan
Was actually getting ready to build a 300 max. NOT NOW!
