[QUOTE="adam32, post: 1820508, member: 9467"] But the actual PSI is the same, so the force on the lugs doesn't go up unless chamber pressure goes up. There's only 62k PSI of actual "force" on the entire bolt/action/lugs. It doesn't matter if the cartridge is a .223 rem or a .375 rum, the actual pressure on the entire action is the same. Otherwise you'd have a .223 rem running 90k PSI (if the brass could handle it)... [/QUOTE]
