Rotary bolt on Rem semi auto's
I just bought a 750 WM 30.06... I'm planning on shooting 180-220gr SP...
I've read on other forums that some people seem to think that shooting a 06 with 220gr loads can damage the bolt system on these guns... Just wondering if anybody knows anything about this???

RE: Rotary bolt on Rem semi auto's
There is no way it will damage the bolt because of bullet weight alone.
In a gas operated system,pressure is the factor you need to pay attention to. All factory loads fall within acceptable pressures.
I have wonder what kind of critter you need those bullets for.

With a 30-06, or any other 30 caliber cartridge, you can do it with a 180 grain bullet of proper construction and get much better in flightballistics than those big220 grain bullets.
Such as a 180 Barnes TSX will penetrate as well or better than a 200 0r 220 grain lead, round nosebullet. Or a Swift a-frame, Or a Winchester XP3, etc... etc...

RE: Rotary bolt on Rem semi auto's
If I wanted to shoot those bullets I would just load them up and use my Rem XCR 300 Win Mag or my Browning A-Bolt 300WSM... So for now in my Rem 750 Woodsmaster I'll be shooting 220gr SP's or 180gr SP's
