Mine is quite accurate with 150 gr. Horns at ~2600 FPS, but I've been warned by somebody who may not know his stuff to avoid higher pressures or heavier pills with this action.
Are there known upper safety limits to this action I should be aware of?


I've had a couple of the Swedes made in the early 1940s as I recall, but I don't know the answer to the strength question. There seems to be a lot of controversy on this. I suppose most are comparing these actions to 98s.
