[quote=243Win but undoubtdly your rifle can handle a load over 64,000 psi.
most modern bolt action can handle 2 times that pressure, Remington test there actions at 175psi with no failure
Holy crap!?
Well let's put it in an easier way if Remington actions could only handle 65000 PSI, Remington would be sued to death an out-of-business that's why they're pressure test them so high for liability. On a another note I friend and I tried to blow up a rusty Remington action once for a hunter safety course loaded a 30-06 full of red dot. Tied it to a tire after the dust cleared and a tire quit spinning we examine the action and nothing was done to the action other than the bolt expanded out into the counterbore that you could not open the action, had to remove the barrel to get it apart. The brass was also expanded or welded to the inside of the chamber, primer pocket double its size.
