I'm NOT a gun writer so.....

Why should the 06 be 'limited' to 50,000 CUP in "modern" firearms when 243s, 308s, 270s, etc are NOT in the same "modern" firearms? ?

What's UNSAFE about shooting 60,000 psi in MODERN firearms regardless of the cartridge? I realize most of us don't have pressure testing equipment .....

As Mule Deer has said, we can use a chronograph and load to velocity levels appropriate to the cartridge.



A Hot P D load ? funny!

Higher velocity/pressure will flatten trajectory and make longer shots easier. Higher fpe is not needed nor the goal.
