Its very strong. In fact, if you read P.O. Ackley's book he states the case is very strong and easily holds pressures equal to the belted magnums.

Many of these facts stem from the loose chambers in early rifles. Ditto on the 30-30 case. The springy 94 action and loose chambers ended reloading prematurely.
