Not talking high pressure loads, just much faster burn loads - much faster.

The point of Gavin's video was how much pressure that brand cases could take. That specific brass has a very hard case head hence they could load to stupid pressure without popping primers.]]> Reloading Methodology janfred https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/be-careful-out-there/#post-7524 Re: Be careful out there https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/be-careful-out-there/#post-7522 Sun, 15 Feb 2026 04:30:06 +0000 Reloading Methodology Tripodmvr https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/be-careful-out-there/#post-7522 Re: Be careful out there https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/be-careful-out-there/#post-7512 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 12:40:24 +0000
CIP certification requires a proof shot at something like 150,000 psi
Proof shots are in the region of 70 to  80K psi. Primers sometimes pop at 80K psi. Serious problems will occur if 150K psi is reached.

Have a peep here ...

Some crazy pressures there
Not sure if they got to 80,000psi ?
But
I do not think they popped any primers ?

Found the following post on the Long Range Forum in the US. A serious warnig to all reloadersThe reason I'm posting this is to maybe save someone else's life. This guy was as experienced a reloader as you'll ever meet. He'd been shooting and reloading for 60 years. Then this happens.

I am sorry but this is of NO help
We who read it have NO idea what went wrong / what caused the accident ?



*****************************************
The post was about safety precaution - sounds like eye protection would have meant he would still be breathing today.

NOPE
The action blew, sending the extractor through his eye and into his brain, killing him instantly.


Safety precaution - one gathers the impression this is what he was doing ?
The ACTUAL details matter .. a lot

You have to seriously overload to reach those pressures
Read abut P.O.Ackley and his tests on blowing up actions - in a controlled environment

It is a sober reminder that pushing the envelope is not a good thing when reloading. K-N graphs exist for a reason and one overload now can mean catastrophic failure later.]]> Reloading Methodology janfred https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/be-careful-out-there/#post-7497 Re: Be careful out there https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/be-careful-out-there/#post-7491 Sat, 07 Feb 2026 11:45:17 +0000

Found the following post on the Long Range Forum in the US. A serious warnig to all reloaders
A few days ago, there was a tragic accident that took his life. While working on a load for one of his rifles, the action blew, sending the extractor through his eye and into his brain, killing him instantly.

Does not matter what went wrong, he was not telling a story that needs details, he was posting a reminder that it happens when least expected, to the most experienced of reloaders.
He was saying, be more than careful, it happens and will happen again, the cause does not actually matter.
