Its only a matter of time until someone gets hurt really bad or worse by fooling around like this.
I guess my age has had an affect on some of my opinions. But I still think its best to err on the
safe side as opposed to the opposite. Most reputable/experienced gunsmiths will refuse to chamber certain
cartridges on just any action someone brings them. People get away with it because the guns aren't
fired enough for the problems to show up in some cases. But be prepared for there to eventually
be bang bang followed by boom. When that happens the bolt will (probably) hold, but everthing else
blows off and guess who is sitting right behind all of it? The smart gunsmiths don't want it being them
even if they aren't the shooter. Shawn Carlock is the guy credited with creating the 338 Edge.
I would like to be standing nearby to watch his facial expression when asked about putting one on
one of these actions.
