Default 4.6 Block info

Up to what hp is just the block good for? Not worried about internals.

from what I've read... block is good for 700-800 as mentioned above.... its the interanls letting go in the 475+ range that break the block.... forged interanls good for 600-700 and you block has nothing to fear....
