Ken, I don't have reservations as to your word, I also have no indication that this stuff doesn't happen with other brands. I do think the nine lug thing is silly, two is enough for the 300 and 378 ultra mags, it's enough for the weatherby rounds also. The fact that a two lug system would be eaiser to manufacture within tolerances makes perfect sense to me. I also don't see this 60 degree bolt lift being any advantage.
I never saw the need for the Weatherby rounds. They are far too overbore. They have a goofy double radius neck on them. A proper chamber for them is freebored way too much.In fact, I would think that if the factory didn't freebore them enough, like an operator error, it would cause wildly excessive pressure.
If I ever buy a Weatherby it will be a Vanguard, which I found out has dual opposed locking lugs.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
