[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1820442, member: 94491"] ugh, the force is exerted in "pounds per square inch"-- when the size of the bolt face is increased then its "square inches"(area) goes up so the force goes up--its a fairly simple calculation but thats why I posted the Wikipedia link to show the actual factual data of the force exerted on the bolt face/lugs for different bolt face sizes/cartridges the chamber pressure is not 62000 pounds, its 62000 pounds PER SQUARE INCHES-- so if you had a bolt face of 2 square inches the force would be 124000 pounds, but with a bolt face of only 1 square inch then the force is only 62000 pounds [/QUOTE]
