Years ago I worked in a small gun shop doing gunsmithing.
One of customers talked about loading four grains over the max in his .338 Winchester Magnum.
Why would you do that, I asked.
He said he and his brother were going to hunt black bears
He said they were shooting tomatoe cans full of water at 200 yds. You should see them blow up! Etc. Etc.
Next time I saw him he asked how my welding skills were.
I asked why he wanted to know
He said those little square things on the front of the bolt were starting to have hairline cracks.
I said let's send it to the factory and have them check the receiver and replace the bolt.
