the issue is whether that firearm is safe with ammunition loaded to the pressures in the cartridge for which it is designed.
Which brings us directly to the 8.3% over maximum, highly compressed load; i.e., a load beyond the pressures in the cartridge for which it was designed.
Fine, but that is far from your original blanket statement regarding handloaded ammunition.
You're mixing up issues, Joe. The case at hand has to do with the load in question and the rifle in question. A rifle that did not have the action fail, but the stock fail, and a load that is more than 8% over maximum and highly compressed at that.
