We've all heard how the P14, No 4 and P17 are superior in bolt and breech strength to the No1 Mk111. I was just wondering if anyone had actual first hand or reliable real world knowledge of just how much stronger the later rifles are?
Has there been record of failure from aged metal, over done hand loads etc? The discussion seems to crop up a lot when hand loads are discussed concerning the wildcatting of the .303. The No1 Mk111 is always noted as been inferior when filling the cases and by a fairly large degree. Are they really a time bomb in waiting?
