Thread: 7mm08 loads and a short barrel

If these pressure graphs and things are correct my guess is that a lot of handloads are up over the max pressure for the cartridge. It might even be the majority. Given the absence of blown primers and wrecked brass, let alone catastrophic failures, there must be a quite a safety margin built into components and actions.

But it does beg the question @John Duxbury, does your bro have a farm?
