I picked up a P 17 Enfield/Eddystone action last month for the next build. I've been told by some fellow smiths of the incredible strength of these actions, hum.
I'm considering building a fat barrel rig in 6.5. X 55, but, if these things are as strong as they say, I'm wondering if I can kick up to something with a little more horse power. My personal favorite round is the 6.5 X 55 and would put a nice tube on it, but, I haven't built a power rig in almost three years and wonder how much of a beating these actions can take. I've magna fluxed it and ran the indicator on it, its in fine shape, so, whats the biggest P17 you folks have seen? Many thanks-SDH
