    Sorry guys, nothing personal meant to any party.

    Any pressure limits will be a sum of the total (rifle and components) and while we can indeed speculate, we cannot safely speculate, and it's still only speculation.

    In theory, the normally-thicker milspec brass will raise pressures with the same load, while at the same time, be able to better contain it due to being thicker/stronger. For this reason, the customary approach has always been to reduce the charges slightly if going to heavier milspec brass. In practice, we just don't know without testing.

    Theoretically, "(total) pressure = velocity", so if both cartridge cases are loaded to the same pressure (which may require differing powder charges), they should deliver the same velocities.

    As they say "In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.", which is why we need to test.

    I hope my last post wasn't the reason for the apology. I didn't mean it to come out that way(offended). I, in no way, took offense in your previous post. I was actually trying to agree with your point. Not so good, I guess.

    Your word is gospel to me sir. :)
