[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1382080, member: 30671"] I can't argue with that! However, we see max loads vary from manual to manual. As much as we like to scoff at lawyer loads, there are legitimate variables, and likely someone saw something that indicated a good place to stop. It's a complex hobby encompassing chemistry, metallurgy, machining tolerances, and environmental conditions on all of the above. Yes the 5-10% reduction from "max loads" recommended in many sources likely would have saved this rifle. Yes operator error has to be considered, and it's easy, and comforting to let it go at that, but I believe every once in awhile (while we're waiting for ice out) to bat it around a little. [/QUOTE]
