I'm not really feeling the need to hot-rod; if I was, as you say, it's best to step up to the next cartridge class, but it would be nice to know the capability is there to at least match what the brass can handle.
If I wanted to hot-rod it in a bolt action to say 60,000psi like a lot of bolt gun rounds are chambered for skip the mini or micro actions for the Grendel and do a build on a Savage or Remington 700, Dakota will build a real sweet Grendel for enough $$$. Those actions can take the added pressure and do with their larger bolt lugs in lots of other cartridges with larger case heads. There are some that are loading the CZ actions hot but I like my gun too much to push it too far, for that in 6.5s there is already a 6.5-284 and 264 Win Mag in the safe. I will take my CZ a bit higher than the max loads for the AR but not much. Just my 2 cents
