: As most people don't think of their normal magnums as "High Pressure" I wonder why many people seem to think the Rugers are.
: The Rugers run no higher pressure than any of a number of 'normal' ctgs. including most of the rounds based on the .473" (standard) and magnum .532" rim size. The Weatherby's also run pressures well over 60,000 PSI, and up to 65,000 PSI in some. About the only 'modern' rounds loaded to lower pressures these days, are the two old H&H numbers and lever action rounds and, of course, the .30/06.
: The Ruger rounds weren't needed, but then neither were any of the Weatherbys or the newer run of WW and Rem rounds.
: Still, I like to play with rounds most people don't have and wildcats have always had a soft spot for me. I just have little use for 'small' bores with large cases.
