The equations are setup to give me a chamber pressure number when I plug in a yeild strength. So if I have left off parts of the action next to the trigger gaurd then the result is that the numbers would show the action is weaker than it actually is. Not the otherway around.

The biggest limiting factor is the reciever ring on the action. There is a small sighting groove on top that goes in 1/2 of the depth. The sides of the action and block are much stronger than the reciever ring.

So if I get a chamber pressure number that should just reach the yield strength and go 50% of that for a working pressure then I should be safe.

The rest of you comment is 100% correct, and because the numbers (STRESSES) are getting BIGGER when calculated CORRECTLY (TriAxial Stress conditions instead of your SIMPLISTIC simple stress calculations) this statement of yours is NO LONGER valid:

Go ahead though, ignore the voice of decades of ACTUAL FIELD experience!

So your saying that you've been building and shooting guns for decades???
