The can has done a couple torture tests to make sure it can handle the heat and pressure. This can is the first one I built and I wanted to make sure it would handle it before building and selling others. There are about 6 or 7 of them out there now. We did a rapid fire 50rd test with .338 lapua. I had 2 friends loading mags while I unloaded them as quickly as I could cycle the bolt and pull the trigger. The lapua round uses just under 100gr of powder so its unlikely that a .300 win mag or anything smaller could overheat the can on a bolt gun. It wasn't intended for use on semi's so I'm not too worried about that. I am using it on the subsonic (or supersonic) .338 BR because it fits the rifle and works very well though I have built an aluminum version of the can for dedicated .338 BR use as well. The problem is that they keep getting sold so I'm stuck with the heavy can.....
hope that answers the question
