Answer: It is hard to blow up a good gun if loads are sensible. Don't overthink. End of story.
Blowing up a gun is not my chief concern but over stressing it so that it prematurely shoots loose, cracks some vital part, breaks wood, etc. are is part of issues that concern me. After studying reloading recipes, I'm not sure I trust pressure ratings that are published for them. At least not absolutely. I and I don't know how much variation can be induced by a different way or primer or case. It would be nice to have the ability to make objective measures of pressure or something closely related to it. Shipping off loads for measurement elsewhere becomes prohibitively expensive quickly.
