I reported a few years back about a mess up with my Swede. I was trying your 42 gr. RL-15 load with 100 NPT, when I mistakenly loaded 52 gr. My Ohaus scale jumped a notch. RL-15 is not a case filler and the overcharge went unnoticed.

When I fired that load, the chrono read 3,577 fps and the bolt froze. It took some effort to get it open, the primer was blown. No mallet, just my hand with some bumping. This was with Lapua brass. QL pressure estimate for that combo was 81,637 psi.

So, running this Swede, a strong FN, at 60K or even 62K psi, doesn't bother me in the least. It's been pressure tested... blush

Like they say on TV, "Don't try this at home"... shocked

I am impressed with the quality of the bolt handle weld.
