[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1154112, member: 2939"] One thing that you might consider: I believe most of the bolt failures on PPC ARs are due to weakening of the lugs caused by the metal removed to open thebolt face enough to accept the PPC's base. You are correct about this but their are two things that happen when you remove more metal from the bolt for cases with a larger case head diameter. One is less locking lug area for engagement and two more surface area for the case to push against the bolt face (bolt thrust). While you will see this as less of problem with the case head of the parent 6.8 SPC case head diameter of .422" it is still an issue to consider.
