[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1210255, member: 25383"] Chrome moly steel is not apt to cracking is a Remington. Chrome moly reaches it's mac Rockwell in the 47 point area. Never Rockwell tested a Remington action, but would put it around 32/35RC with a 60RC case. The case will crack. Still this is not saying somebody wasn't shooting 75 to 80K PSI loads thru it. I would take the action and bolt to a good heat treater (aero-space) and have it X-Rayed at the minimum. Better to spend money here than in the trauma ward. gary [/QUOTE]
