>>>Your chart on the estimated pressure or force on the bolt face mean nothing because the case is designed to grip the chamber walls and NOT deliver the full force of discharge to the bolt face. Simply put the case acts like a shock absorber and cuts the force in half delivered to the bolt face.<<<
Sorry, the case is not designed to absorb the thrust to the bolt. That it has to in the case of many rifle actions is a throwback to the black powder era's low pressures. You cannot find a design drawing that says that or provides the test specifications that would be used to test for it.
Where do you get your Bovine Scat? Bovine Scat = BS
