Someone loaded up his drilling with hot loads and cost himself $3K. This 8X57 JRS was no doubt loaded to the hilt, trying to get 30-06 performance that can be achieved in a strong bolt gun.

This is a Heym drilling, Dural receiver. I've found Heyms notoriously loosen up under frequent shooting of regular loads. Judging from the hinge pin the owner was pushing the gun hard for a while.
