Remington 788 Lugs and reloading

"On the 788, it is mostly compression of the bolt but there is also some stretch of the receiver. In total, it amounts to about .001" per thousand pounds of back thrust."

Bill,

50,000 psi would give .050" stretch! Did you slip a decimal place or two?

Regards,

Ron

You have to calculate the actual force not the pressure.
