[QUOTE="ak7an, post: 1382290, member: 103414"] When we talk about safe pressure, what is it? Why is one pressure level safe for one cartridge but not another? Take the 270 Win for example, safe is below the max pressure of 65K PSI, but the 30-06, (the parent cartidge of the 270), safe is below 58K PSI. Belted magnums??? I am even more confused 60K PSI??. I thought it was a magnum LOL.. I get the "old military mauser" line of BS, so we load a very nicely designed cartridge down to neutered status.. What gives??? Safe for me is following proven reloading info that has been proven safe for your rifle.. BTW velocity is the most reliable indication of pressure. Thats why any reloader worth their salt has one and uses it in load development.. Higher than usual velocity... higher than acceptable pressure, and in some cartridges it can go up exponentially fast. Just my $.02 :) [/QUOTE]
