I take pleasure in the hope that one of these days the silly SOB will put a rifle bolt through his face, and we won�t have to deal with his stupidity anymore. Hopefully he hasn�t passed on his genes.
I have done a stress analysis on the Rem 700 bolt system, the Win 70, the Mauser 98, and the Sav 110.
They are all remarkably close, with a tiny edge to the Savage.
Besides the math, I have experimentally taken the brass to failure, the bolts to failure, and the bolt abutments to failure in 7mmRM.
From those I have calculated a safety margin for the (4) 7mmRM I have built and the (2) I have purchased.
That is ok for me [an old grandpa engineer], but I think a layman consumer like you should use published load data.
