-ok then, suppose you are reloading, and you accidently or intentionally work up a hotter-than-usual load.....this is possible, correct???-my main point is, how strong are these guns? are they proofed with very strong loads or what?.....its not a Birmingham proof after all.

Wouldn't worry about that too much. When reloading reasonable care should be taken. Get hold of a chronograph when working out loads and stick to the appropriate velocity ranges for the bullet weight and calibre.

When you have an appropriate load which is reasonably accurate and regulates, you stick to it.

Unlike bolt actions in a big double rifle you are likely to have only a single bullet weight (or two bullet weights) and a FMJ and SPRN in that weight. Once you have worked it out, it won't change often.

Of course some like to play around a lot.
