[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2189522, member: 101859"] Max pressure happens when the bullet is only a couple inches into the barrel. By the time it reaches the muzzle pressure has dropped considerably. I have seen brakes not bored out large enough for the bullet to pass through. They just blow off the muzzle. Even if there was an obstruction how much could a plastic sabot add? My bet is an over charge in powder or some degradation of the powder over time. One thing I agree on is theres no way an action should do that at 85k psi. We run into the 70s often. [/QUOTE]
