[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1821229, member: 21446"] Im pretty sure Shawn Carlock’s 375 Terminator is based on a case that is 1/2” longer than the Chey Tac with more capacity and it has a rebated rim .590” to run in his terminator action. I’ve read in the past where guys have tried rebating the lapua case down to magnum .535” and we’re having Long term issues running them on Rem 700’s. And where guys have rebated magnum cases down to standard .473 and we’re having issues with the primer pockets opening up early without as much material there to support them. Although Shawn designed his brass and action from the ground up I’m sure to work around these issues. Why would he do this if not to decrease bolt thrust? [/QUOTE]
