Thread: Action strengths

All influencing variables being equal, yes. So the two rifles would have to have the exact same headspace, twist rate, leade or throat length, chamber dimensions, land and groove dimensions etc. they would have to impart the exact same resistance to projectile movement etc. then one could reasonably expect the same result for hand loads in either. What you'd then be looking at' to account for a different result, would be action stiffness or flex, bolt lock up differences, lug sizes and engagement area etc contributing to different results.
