[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 678866, member: 6705"] We are experiencing the same frustration with you. You have been unwilling to listen and understand where we are coming from. Our understanding of their limitations comes from experience with them. I'd imagine if it was for liability they would have recalled the WSM's and RUM's built on small shanks. There's been no recall. I'm sure the motivation for Savage was because it pencils on paper stronger than a small shank. Being an engineer myself, I know that what happens on paper isn't always what happens in reality. If you're worried about safety on a hot load, you are safer with the small shank. A hot load in a large shank has been known to split the thinner barrel nut allowing the headspace to grow. The small shank nut has enough thickness to handle the swelling without rupture. [/QUOTE]
