[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 618935, member: 5302"] No, the Rem's are stronger. I read something years ago with the bursting limit of popular factory actions. They were about 140,000 psi for the Remington 7XX and 125,000 for the Winchester 70. Not an issue for most folks 'cause cartridge brass starts to extrude into the bolt face holes and cutouts at about 80,000 psi (65,000 CUP) SAAMI specs for peak pressure's below that. I saw a low-number M1903 Springfield action that was used in pressure tests all the way to destruction. The folks couldn't put enough rifle powder (IMR4198) into the .30-06 cases under 172-gr. bullets to blow the rifle. Its bolt had to be pounded open for the last several loads. It finally blew with a case full of Bullseye pistol powder. So much for those "unsafe" low number M1903's. [/QUOTE]
