[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1893513, member: 28965"] Really, at 42,000 psi the chamber pressure is not great enough to make a 30-30 case stretch to the bolt face. The amount of bolt thrust depends on the diameter of the case, chamber pressure and the yield strength of the brass. And "YOU" J E Custom have not provided any proven written information to backup you wild claims. And please notice the link below is from this web page. [B]Pressures, Case Strength and Back Thrust[/B] [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/pressures-case-strength-and-back-thrust.396/[/URL] [B][I]By Bob Jourdan ©Copyright 2010, Precision Shooting Magazine Back thrust, mentioned above, brings us to another consideration for cartridge cases used in experimentation or wildcatting. Even though we read of the chamber pressures being in the 50,000 c.u.p. range in most high powered cartridges, it has been proven that back thrust on the bolt is retarded by the fact that the case wall expands to grip the chamber wall, thus holding the case from backing up hard against the bolt. Ackley's experimentation along these lines proved that a properly designed case will hold back a surprising amount of back thrust from the bolt and locking system of a rifle, but only when the chamber is kept dry. By oiling the chamber or cartridge case before firing, back thrust will be increased tremendously, and may even approach that of full chamber pressure.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
