My post in favorite loads got me to thinking about which is a stronger action. The Handirifle or the Marlin 336. What say ye?  Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | ||

if we are talking the top model of the ultra handirifle .. the last ones before they were bought, i'd say ultra handrifle .. it's designed for 243 pressures why do you ask? opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

No question it is the handirifle. Not that Marlins are weak, but when the pressures get high, the lever pops open. I know this from actual testing. Ok, not testing; hot loading. | |||

Yep the lever guns including the Savage 99 have a built in barometer!! the lever drops a tad when you use too much powder..as do Win 94s and Marlin 336s..Not sure about the Browning with bolt action locking lugs..Saves a lot of time working up a max load however, that's the upside!!

And it makes them faster to operate the lever; at the "right" load it will jump open, giving you a head start on the reloading process. I am not advocating doing that; in fact, no one do anything I say. But it is a real thing as Ray says. | |||

Yup, found the same as the above gents. | |||

Winchester 71 levers pop open when pressures get high, as well. The 1886 doesn’t have that problem, as the locking lugs aren’t tapered. The 71 sure is slick though! Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

Ok, since they're so strong. Which do you think will be TESTED the most with this "new" 6.8/200whatever 80,000psi cartridge. No doubt in my mind some dumb bastards will try to match it likely with pistol powder. What gets me is: 3000fps isn't all that hard to reach. Hell I've done it with a 250gr bullet.
