Default Do not try this at home.

Pretty interesting what a cartridge can be pushed to.

Seriously do not try this at home.

That was an interesting video. I'm sure most modern guns are robust enough to handle higher pressures then advertised. Still, when max SAAMI is 62,000, and you push it to 103,000 I'd prefer it not be my rifle or me on the trigger!

Maybe tied to a tree with 100’ of string on the trigger like something mythbusters would try

Not with my rifle, sez I!

Imagine loading my .338 Federal like that, to shoot 250 gr pill at .338 WM velocities.

Recoil might be excessive? I wouldn't want to explain to Karl at KS Arms what happened to the action...

Saw that a couple of days ago. I’d say Bruce is pretty confident in his product. :-)

Also a darn good reason to own a chronograph. $800 you say? Well what is your face worth?
