This a zombie thread from 2009. The troll posted last year and hasn’t been back, a typical hit-and-run. Can we believe what he posted? Don’t know, but since it contradicts 140 years of belief I would want to see the sources cited before I decided that an M1776 could be loaded to astronomical pressures. Oh, wait, we have no idea what those pressures might have been, do we? Does “safe” mean the rifles didn’t blow up? Nineteenth century promotional “science”? No thanks, I’d not risk my rifle based on ancient anecdotal evidence. But it’s your firearm, load it as hot as you want.
