[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1820702, member: 87243"] It is proven through first hand experience and observation by experienced smiths that lug set back happens with high pressure loads on a 700 action with a .585 bolt face. A simple search will bring up cases of this spoken of by reputable people about this fact. I have never once even heard about lug set back on a remington action with a .223 bolt face, reguardless of how high pressures are. The only difference is bolt face size, so the fact that the larger bolt face causes lug set back isn't really up for debate, it is a fact, proven with first hand experience. Bolt face size does matter. I think the discussion should be more about the physics of how that actually happens. I myself don't know big enough words to explain it.... [/QUOTE]
