We are talking normal pressures not overpressures. We all agree all guns can blow up.Internal case pressure/bolt thrust has nothing to do with recoil. You can blow a gun up with any weight bullet.

No you did not ask about recoil you asked about what the lugs feel which is bolt thrust!!We are NOT in agreement about the physics how recoil and lugs are related. Stop always bashing people for disagreeing. I just asked if a lapua and an edge have the same recoil with the same bullet and speed. It warrants an answer by someone with numbers which I don't have since I don't have a lapua. Do you have both? Post numbers not opinions
And I am saying they are related. I asked about both multiple timesNo you did not ask about recoil you asked about what the lugs feel which is bolt thrust!!
But the world of physics says they are not.And I am saying they are related. I asked about both multiple times
Not true. We can get 65k psi with a 100gr or 300gr. We will get different recoil, thus added bolt thrust. Its all in a line and connected. You cannot increased Pressure or increased mass (bullet) without recoil being affectedI have not built direct com
But the world of physics says they are not.
Can you point me to the recoil calculator please? I'd like to see how weight and speed are related to recoil.You can plug your RUM vs Lapua question into a recoil calculator and you will see the difference in recoil will come down to the difference in the weight of the powder charge to hit the same pressures.
You can put the internal case dimensions and pressure into the bolt thrust calculation and see the RUM has less thrust too.
JBM has one, Google will bring up several.Can you point me to the recoil calculator please? I'd like to see how weight and speed are related to recoil.

Can you give me an extreme example to make it easy to understand?It doesnt matter.
Internal case pressure x internal case head area is what the lugs see.
Recoil is not related to pressure or case head size. I see why you could see it that way, but think of the rifle as a rocket propelling itself off of something. The heavier bullet gives the rifle more to push off of.
They don't have it because its not part of recoil!!I checked out jbm and shooters calculator and neither have bolt face size as a variable When determining recoil. Is bolt thrust prior to, during or after recoil?
Exactly. Because the bolt lugs feel every bit of the energy produced to push that projectile out of the barrel at x FPS, because everything is in a straight line behind the projectile ending with your shoulder. Including the bolt lugs and abatementsThey don't have it because its not part of recoil!!
