Let me pull down some arbitrary numbers just to help focus the discussion. If we operate under the assumption that Hornady, Lapua, PPU and Nosler 6.5 Grendel BRASS — not talking about AR15 bolt — can easily handle 60,000 psi pressure rounds or whatever they shoot 6mmPPC at, what are the pros and cons of loading to, oh, 58,500 in a new Howa Mini-Action (MA)?

The expectation would be to gain 100-200 fps more velocity. (This assumes the next step up, something like the 6.5 Creedmoor, gains 350-450 fps per bullet in equal-length barrels at about 60,000 psi vs. the 65G. And feel free to question my assumptions! Let's get on the same page — this isn't ARF.com.)

Is this doable in the MA? Doable with caveats? Insane? Wink Let's explore this from a technical perspective.
