Thread: Wilcats and Pressure

I'd be more concerned about bolt locking lugs under excessive pressure and possible damage to the bolt or action from lug set back.

Plenty of articles floating around on the subject by reputable people.

no point spending big $$$ on custom actions and action blue printing if after 100 shots the bolt lugs are not engaging evenly.

Note that I'm not saying that this is likely to happen to any particular rifle or load discussed on this forum.

Simply saying in response to your post above that it's well documented and as bolt lugs are typicaly harder than an action, it's an easy way to kill an expensive new rifle. (if you believe the experts )
