[QUOTE="ELR Researcher, post: 1301395, member: 19541"] Fred: 1. As both Ed and Pro have demonstrated with their designs, rim size is not a limit to the body diameter. 2. Tenon size is questionable as the "gauge" since the question then becomes how much meat is in the action at the tenon. The BAT L (max CT BF max) has a 1.25x16 tenon but the action OD can be 2.0 (one of two size options). But the BAT EX (their only .50 BMG BF offering - with CT BF option) is available in 2.0 and 2.5 ODs - the 2.0 being basically the "standard" for 50 BMG. 3. And your "discriminator" ignores "material, heat treat, base functional design, etc." For example, the Kelbly 338 LM Panda action is predominantly aluminum with a steel insert at the tenon. Bottom line, much more than rim size and tenon sizes to be considered. [/QUOTE]
