[QUOTE="Clark, post: 683964, member: 6600"] Lefty7mmstw, Your concerns are misplaced. Ruger #1s do not have a bolt. There are white lies, lies, **** lies, and then there are 7mmRemMag published data. I work up to the threshold of long brass life and then back off 4% powder charge with that powder. Those are usefull loads, not silly lawyered up loads that reduce the 7mmRM to less than what the 7x57mm can do with long brass life. Sheesh. I also way overload every rifle and pistol design to see what happens. I take my rifles WAY past the threshold of long brass life. I know what they are capable, when the bolt yields, and how much. There are huge amounts of safety margin between long brass life and where the rifle fails.

I later hunted with that rifle and shot a deer and an antelope in 2011. [/QUOTE]
