That is the only way we will get the same velocity with the same pressure. The case is the weakest link in a loaded and fired gun. That is usually what gives out when a gun blows up and hurts some one. A blocked barrel is a cause too but that is a whole new kettle of fish. Some powders have similar velocities but one usually takes more powder to reach the same velocity and pressure. Elkhunter11 made a good point using the Hodgson manual as the 30-06 uses a wide variety of powders.
Stob if you know some guys with Quick Load they can find you 60000 PSI loads for the 6.5x55 with various powders.
