When I was living in Lander, Wyoming in the 1970's, the then-governor of the state blew up a Weatherby Mark V, which is pretty tough to do. He was taking part in the annual One-Shot Antelope Hunt with a .270 Weatherby Magnum, and chambered a .270 Winchester round. It blew the rifle apart in several ways, and injured him some. I don't think any action will stand up to a dumb-ass combination like that. The correct head-size at least minimizes gas leaks, but there's virtually nothing stopping the hot gas when it can go around a smaller case.


LOL! It's hard to get good help. Even when your the Governor
