[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2793510, member: 115658"] I would not mess around with enlarging the bolt face - hard tough steel. Lapping bolt lugs & truing up receiver ring should be done with a re-barrel job. Also, to be considered is bolt thrust increase upon enlarging cartridge base area. Like .473 is .176 square inches vs. .532 is .222 square inches. Assuming equal pressures like, 60 K psi exerted on base of cartridge the larger area base would allow more thrust on bolt face.
