Re: Why would SAAMI lower pressures on an established cartridge?
Early Hornets had .223" barrels and most reloading bullets are .224" thus raising pressure. Thin brass and a bad case for stretching means that sometimes at the high end of pressure the head can seperate, this did not matter before reloading became so popular.
