How else would you have learned so much?

Glad I didn't get hurt.
Are you seeing what I'm seeing with regards to case volume?
In a tighter chamber I had a GREATER volume increase after firing via high pressure in the shortened chamber and brass.
The only thing I can figure is that the chamber expanded (scary) and the brass only retracted to a tight fit... hence the stiff bolt lift.
The only way to complete this experiment is to put the new bolt head back now that the bevels were cut on the lugs and fire the 50 grain load and see what it does.
HiBC I would like to know your idea on this and an explanation of your theory about the set back. I DO NOT want to repeat the high pressure that I got before. I am tempted to reduce the charge another grain or two but I don't want to cause a detonation either.
READ THIS: The face of the new bolt is now .0015" deeper at it's center than it was! Is it possible that Savage was making these out of mild steel?

Midway - read the description of the item. Sounds like Savage bolt heads like to dish! :
