I've got a question about pressure. I looked up two loads:
308 load using a 165 gr bullet and IMR 4064 powder. It called for 42 gr starting load with 47,700 PSI, with a max load of 46.3c with 59,700 psi.
243 load using 85 gr bullet and IMR 4064. It called for 33.8 gr start with 49,200 PSI with a max load of 36 gr with a PSI of 56,700.
Question is, is the 308 built stronger to hold a high psi load than the 243 and if so is this normal variance across calibers
