[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 803195, member: 8362"] In recoil operated arms, the recoil created by higher pressure ammo has everything to do with function! Ever heard of a 1911 frame cracking? It happens when the slide recoils and hits the frame enough times hard enough that it damages the frame. Many different recoil springs are available to prevent this, recoil springs should be tailored to the loads you are using. I've seen light loads fail to cycle a pistol and, on the other hand, pistols beat to crap from shooting "hot" loads, all for the failure to install the correct spring and, maybe, an buffer. I've seen the same thing in Browning A-5 Shotguns (recoil operated) because the user didn't position the friction rings for the load. It boils down to this, if the arm is cycling reliably but not violently the load is, most likely, safe for that arm. I work on this stuff every day! [/QUOTE]
