    I think the issue is that some people believe that loading manuals are ''playing it safe'' and that hard brass is safe beyond the stated values as they don’t exhibit pressure signs.

    For one reason or another squeezing an extra 100fps out of an already fast rifle at unsafe pressures appears to make sense to them? However I can see no tangible gain in obtaining that extra 100fps at the cost of brass life and having an unsafe rifle.

    Stick to the safe loads and it won’t be an issue. And unless you have pressure measuring equipment, a loading manual is about all we have to go on...anything else is just a stab in the dark.
