Rapier, I am sorry I have pi---- you off. Please reread my thread. I didn't call anyone stupid; only that using the 96 for loads up to 65,000 is "stupid", as in a stupid act. I do stand by that. I have not seen a 96 that is not relatively soft. It is necessary to leave the bolt in the receiver so the front ring isn't crushed when an action wrench is tightened over the front ring. That is "soft". There is a very good reason the 98 was made and heat treated differently. It is much stronger. I wish the best of luck, and a good medical plan, to those that use the 96 action on a regular basis with ammunition that peaks out at 65,000 PSI. Even some 98 actions are fairly soft and should be re-heat treated before they are rebarreled to calibers that go to 65,000 psi.
