[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2226753, member: 115819"] It's a good read, but it doesn't really answer why the decided it was economical and necessary when the people who invented the WSM were fine staying even smaller. Not that I think it's a bad idea, but why stop at such a small increase? It's literally a 1.77 percent increase in chamber wall thickness. But I'm not a metallurgist. My guess is somebody thought they were going to convert all of the actions to larger diameter and decided to find the cheapest increase in size. [/QUOTE]
