Raul, if you are asking about newly made double rifles, than I would simply answer your question in this way. Any new double rifle that is factory chambered for a high pressure cartridge, is,in a word, safe with factory ammo in that chambering!

The problem with most of those is they are usually rimless, or belted/rimless cartridges which are somtimes problematic with loading, and extracting/ejecting of these cartridges.

IMO, no double rifle that is to be used primarily for dangerous game should be chambered for a rimless/belted rimless cartridge. However many do use them for that purpose, seemingly without problem "SO FAR", but I will not!

As I said if the rifle is factory chambered for a particular cartridge, then it is safe with factory ammo in that rifle! When HANDLOADING do not push the envelope, and stay with factory ammo equivelant loads!

'Any Shot you want' lists the US (SAAMI) pressures. european pressure limmits under CIP for most of the double rifle cartridges are considerably lower.
