[QUOTE="Bill Johnson, post: 1067773, member: 84129"] The 1898 Mauser action is rated for cartridges that operate in the 62K PSI range with a bolt face dia of .473 which means it's designed to withstand about 3467 pounds of thrust. The 300 Win Mag requires a bolt face of .532 and operates a little hotter at 64K PSI. That yields a bolt thrust of 4528 pounds, about a 30% increase. Premium Mauser actions may withstand this increase but I'd absolutely stay away from any war time production actions and measure headspace at regular intervals. [/QUOTE]
