[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1164490, member: 2736"] As usual Fiftydriver is right on. All actions are designed to be "safe" at SAMME pressures. the real problem is bolt thrust based on case head size (Total square inches of case head that imparts thrust on the bolt face). [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_thrust[/url] This link should explain it better. (There is a comparison chart if you scroll down that gives a good example of the difference in standard cartridges). The other problem with the 338 Lapua is that it can and often be loaded to much higher pressures due to the quality of the brass compounding the bolt thrust loading. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
