[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1012541, member: 24284"] For those who adhere to action screw torque specs up around 60-65 inch pounds steel bottom metal has its advantages. The same holds true for calibers with heavy recoil. It's not uncommon to see the 'screw head seats' in aluminum bottom metal, milled or cast, worn deeply. I'm not afraid of the few ounces steel adds in favor of its strength over aluminum. I'm all for light weight as long as I'm not compromising to get it. Dakota makes nice bottom metal, too. [/QUOTE]
