Excellent discussion here, thanks!
Personally I have found the winchester model 88 to be loaded to close to max loads. Hotter than a BLR or a savage 99. In .308.
My old 71 got sticky extractions had to stay mid book.
My marlin 1895 45/70 s seem impervious to the book.....I don't get it, they seem very strong.
I never tried to hot rod my win 1895 s.
My 356 ER did also well with top loads.
I will remember to not test my 94 356 AE for top loads.
BTW.....
The 30 U.S. or 30 Army is 30/40 krag
The 30 GOVT is the 3006 at least that is what I believe.
