This whole thing seems a bit chicken or egg to me...
I think that applying an arbitary pressure across all actions/barrels/calibres as being a safe do not exceed could be sensible for the great unwashed... but clearly it is not necessarily relevant to individual rifles. How do you deal with 96 mausers vs Barnards for example...
Even though hard strong brass in a strong action may be more light-switch moving from safe to not, the principles are still the same. I would suggest backing off a little more than other well documented options in this case once first pressure signs are reached.
I have a hard job believing that cases fired 5 times and not having required resizing, contain loads that are causing damage to actions in spite of whatever pressure that they are running...
I also believe that it is unlikely that a whole new class of firearm performance has been unearthed as a result of totally original thought, requiring secrecy and "IP" protection the like of the "you copied my silencer design" dramas of the recent past...
If you want to be an original thinker and still benefit from it, not much is gained by trying to lock it down and protect it. You're far better off link your brand with the product and get it out there so that whatever it is becomes always linked with you.... the microsoft saturation model
Don't know anyone with a dakota proprietory calibre......![]()
