Well, one thing we probably all CAN agree on is that a substantial amount of "Wringing" does take place every time we touch off one of these big brutes.

Don't think so?....put down your pistol gripped rifle, and grab a straight gripped one in the same chambering, same weight category. You can feel the snappy torque reaction. You can SEE it taking place while spotting, if your shooter doesn't have a good solid hold, just watch the muzzle.

Trusting the fellow who participated at an intense level in formulating the alloy AND developing the stress relief process best suited?

I can buy into home registry, based on that.

Your call.
