[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 1031010, member: 14053"] I believe most gunsmiths believe the bolt diam. is the problem. When opening up to a 338 Lapua or 378 Weatherby sized case the bolt gets too thin and could be a problem if you ruptured a case. Even though it has the same size tenon the Defiant would be stronger because of the bigger diameter of the action supporting the tenon. It is also recommended to have bigger lugs to handle bolt thrust. Matt [/QUOTE]
