Thread: 6mm ARC (and it's cousins) load data

Good evening Mathias.

Yes I’m referring to mini actions with smaller locking lugs, skinnier bolts. In my opinion and experience they can’t handle pressures as high as a short action will be able to handle.

The Howa mini and the short action do not share the same bolt or tenon diameter - according to my measurements. The short action has about 30% more surface area on the locking lugs.

I have not measured the brand new ultra light howa’s actions and bolts - I’ve heard that their bolts are skinnier than the normal SA, but has yet to confirm.
