[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1820590, member: 85874"] Let me try one more time. Since the lugs did not change but the area of force on the bolt face did. Then there is a increase of force on the lugs. Image if you increased the area of the bolt face to a 50 cal would you expect the same lugs on a 223 to hold a 50 cal. Obviously no. Even though the pressure would be about the same. Cohunt is exactly right and has done a very good job of explaining the difference in Force and Pressure. My hat is off to him. Sometimes we need to try and understand instead of arguing. Kirby Allen knows more about this and has more personal experience than most of us. After all his reputation depends on it. [/QUOTE]
