well let me ask you this Bob....since you are such an expert on the subject.
when you use the word "can".... can it result in pressures going out of site? So you don't believe that a case failure would happen long before a barrel/receiver would fail?
PO Ackley tested a few magnum barreled actions, type 38, type 99, 98 mauser, 03 sprinfeild with barrels bulging, some split, but none of the actions gave way. I wonder why? Because they are designed beyond any excess pressure from outside sources whether they be human or not.
The only thing that the OP said happened to his rifle was
"It swelled the barrel and ruined the bolt"
Changing bullet manufactures with max loads would not even come close to doing the above. The casing would fail first. People like you are convinced by manufactures who are persuaded by their legal council to preach the dangers of what you say... IF you understood why SAMMI came into being, then you wouldn't be so concerned of what's in print of so called warnings, but in all actuality is a safe guard for a law suit. BUT....IF it's in print, it's insurance to the manufactures.
