I have a Rossi 92 in 480 Ruger. Keeping to listed fairly low pressure loads, it's a potent round in a rifle. | |||

It is the 454 Casuall that is 65,000 psi and 475 Linbaugh (sp) that is high pressure. The 480 Ruger is 48,000 psi. | |||

I am not educated with regard to what is considered high pressure for a double. I’m guessing action size, means of lockup, barrel steel composition and chamber wall thickness must all play a part. Anyone care to enlighten me? Matt FISH!!

The 450 3 1/4 Nitro pressure is rated at 44,237 psi. There are doubles built for 375 HH and I have seen over under Kregioff in 458 Lott. I have seen Merkels and Heyms with 300 WM barrels. A few 458 WM. However, traditional wisdom, now with modern doubles, more for extraction than strength, is to keep pressure below 50k psi. | |||

pressure, as a thing, isn't the only thing - but bolt thrust... which I why i build 45/120 doubles, rather than either 458 winmag, or 450 NE (either) in that, well, 45/120 brass WAS relatively cheap, and of great quality from norma opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
