How can the mechanical stress exerted by DG cartridges on the action be estimated? Peak pressure alone is not a solution
Peak chamber pressure (e.g., in N/cm² or MPa) by itself does not fully describe the mechanical stress experienced by the firearm. However, it is a commonly used metric to assess the mechanical stress. Certainly, this is not the whole story because besides peak pressure, bolt thrust, pressure time curve, the weight of the powder charge, the friction of the cartridge case, and the bullet impulse all play a significant role.

No more cutting foam; Pelican Re-Set
My Pelican 1700 has two mid-layers of foam cut for two different pairs of guns. They have been relegated to the scrap foam pile to be used when I have a need for a chunk of firm foam in some project. They have been replaced with Pelican's Re-Set grids. Stumbled on this new system a couple weeks before the SCI convention while looking for something else. Tested on the flight to Nashville. This system works.
The Re-Set, with the plastic grid holding a bunch of firm foam pegs, not quite an...

Ordered my LAST African Safari rifle at DSC this year...
Last year, when I went to SCI, I stopped at Wesley Richards booth as I wanted to place an order for a double and an extra barrel. They said they were all sold outand the earliest I could have one would be in 6 years, 2028 when I would be 71!!!.
That was not acceptable, and I was disappointed. Later on, at the Rigby booth, I talked to Jerome Lanue and he was telling me about his projects at Rigby. One was a development of a boxlock double like Rigby used to make a while ago. He said he would...

Alpine Boots - What are you wearing in the mountains?
What are your go to boots for hunting in the mountains. Steep, wet, loose rocks, grass, slippery terrain, sometimes snow or snow.
What boots do you use in the mountains to hunt sheep, Ibex, goats, tahr, chamois?
I used Zamberlan 700 Sierra GTX Boots in New Zealand for Tahr and Chamios, but I’ll need a stiffer shanked boot. Zamberlan has a stiffer boot in a Mountain Trek GTX RR that I’ve looked at. I was also considering Crispi - Alpine Pro SF.
I tried Kenetrek. Comfortable but I was...
