[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1709430, member: 56094"] Firstly I would like to say that I really admire your honesty and I am glad that you weren't injured. However I feel that we haven't got to the bottom of this issue and I say that because Hodgdon list the max load of Varget for a 55 grain bullet at 36.5 grains. Richard Lee in Modern Reloading 2 also list 36.5gr max. Sierra list 36.1gr for their various 55 grain bullets. Yes different primers, cases and bullets can and do make a difference but we are talking a catastrophic difference in this case. It would be interesting for a Gunsmith or an engineer to look at your action to see what they think of the steel structure. [/QUOTE]
