Yep, understand your post just fine. Respectfully, I believe the barrel does NOT absorb all the pressure. Pressure is a 360 degree - 3 dimensional thingy. That's why there are holes drilled in the receiver to deflect gas when the pressure blows out the primer, or the barrel expands, case splits...

Good evening to all. Am in the early stages of building a matched pair of rifles in 338 win magnum and 338 Federal. Would like to base the rifles on Colt Sauer actions. Have acquired a 7mm Rem Mag for the 338 win mag build. Question: will this action hold up to a 250-275 grain bullet? I...

Thanks Runningman I need to read more about this. While completely familiar with freebore, the concept of .360 freebore seems astonishing. Whatever it takes! I am sure Bill spoke of a tapered throat, but mentioned Weatherby in the same sentence, so maybe he meant freebore. thanks for your...

Thanks, RC. Lottsa time before i order that barrel anyway.

Good day to everyone. First post, and thanks in advance for any info. Beginning the process of working up an order for a new rifle. Planning on .338 win mag, and have been shooting the 210 grain Swift Scirocco II. In my current rifle, with 70 gr H4350 (24 in bbl), am averaging 2875 fps...
