[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1821557, member: 2736"] I simply say that if a action is designed for a specific bolt load, and you exceed that It can set the bolt lugs back. Recoil lugs and abutments are designed for the use intended. you wouldn't re chamber a 22 long rifle in 22 mag unless you had a death wish for the same reason, It wasn't designed for the extra pressure with almost the same bolt face diameter. The fact that Remington has adopted the 338 Lapua simply means that with standard loads it is safe. It doesn't mean that with heavy use or hi pressure loads that the 700 action will not get Lug set back over time. Normally the bigger the cartridge, the bigger the bolt and bolt face. By designing bigger lugs and abutments this problem will normally not exist unless the design pressure and bolt load are exceeded. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
