good guesses, fortunately the mossberg has dual rear locking lugs. the large surface area of the case should help minimize bolt thrust. loads will be worked up VERY carefully, these numbers are ideal, not set in stone, it is an ultralight, unfortunately if i make it heavy it will defeat the purpose of a safari rifle and im not sure the max wieght the aveage person cares to carry, allthough a 4 ft long heavier gun would look awsome,
