I see that there are two pressures listed for the 30-30:

Maximum pressure (CIP) 46,000 psi (320 MPa) European?

Maximum pressure (SAAMI) 42,000 psi (290 MPa) USA?

I'm wondering, historically, what pressures were maximum for the 219 Donaldson Wasp.

I suspect that anyone loading the 219 Donaldson Wasp is on their own.
