I keep hearing all these myths about bolt thrust on other forums until I am about to believe some of it.
If chamber pressure is 60,000 PSI then that is 60K in all directions, so how can we increase/decrease the pressure on the bolt by changing the shape of the chamber? For example a straight walled case is said to apply less pressure to the bolt than a tapered wall case.
Is there something here that I am missing?
