    So with a receiver (Barnard for eg) with a yield of ~165k, appropriate sized lugs etc and this new chambering and brass ( take your pick or make one up) whats the stop point and what process do we go about getting there?
    Lets say brass is good for 88k psi as per the mfgs say so
    If you get to 70k psi and everything is indicating sweet, then why not 75k?, 80k? if all good there also, after all, this aint your grandaddies deer huntin' rifle

    Arnt we at the same stage back in time when 50k psi was PMAX and then with the advent of stronger actions/materials etc, we saw a new class of cartridges at 65k psi
