[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2797026, member: 116181"] I hear what you're saying, and yes they do. But I betcha plenty of engineers at Ford thought the Pinto was a good design, also. Stiller has the better action design for .590" bolt faces IMO. The larger barrel tenon has the benefits of not just more lug surface area but additional radial support of the case. It would be one thing if I was running factory 338 LM rounds. It's another to be wildcatting 7s and 30s off the Lapua case with no hard pressure data. The Lapua bolts I work off of have a 1.100" outer lug diameter, and with the way circular area works out I end up with ~30% more lug face than with a .990" radial/ 1.0625" tenon. It's funny that the Interwebs tells us all the Rem 700 Action is in no way suitable for .590" bolt faces, even though when staying inside the 1.0625 tennon the larger lug diameter of a factory .695" bolt is probably better even with the thin bolt nose walls than a .750" bolt. (Full disclosure - I have a Defiance .590 bolt face/ .750" bolt diameter action, and several Savage large shanks also) [/QUOTE]
