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 centsYou didn't comprehend my previous post did you.
It is not the bolt action strength that is the problem, it is the brass. Yes, you can hotrod to 60k PSI (and I'm using Lapua brass which is head and shoulders above anything made in America) but your primers will need superglue to stay in on the third reload. Either that or you can then ream the primer pocket to take a large rifle primer and get another couple of loads out of the cases.
Short version, at 60k PSI the cases stretch quickly across the base which make the primer pockets loose.
