If i am not mistaken, as i cant find the diagram online right now. If you seat the wadcutter 3/8" below the case mouth with a full case of Bullseye Powder, you are going to hit an destimated 70-80,000 PSI.
That is enough to blow the cylinder and topstrap from a Smith and Wesson X frame revolver. After all, 500 magnum is only 60,000 PSI

Full case and bullseye should never be used in the same sentence.
