I've seen what happens in a Savage and it might be the only action I've seen that handles a catastrophic failure as well as a Remington 700 does. The one I saw was a 30/06 loaded with 56 grains of Red Dot behind a 180 Sierra. The Red Dot was purchased at a yard sale and was in a 4831 can. The receiver ring was swelled about 40 thou. The rifle was wrecked but the shooter was fine.

In the .588" breech face Lapua.
The Rem Custom "Shop" in Ilion,N.Y.never installed a M16 pinned extractor.
The Rem Custom "Center"now @ Dakota Arms may have.
Thanks D.Kiff owner of PT&G for convincing Rem to install a pinned m16 type extractor in the .588" face Lapua bolt noses.
(he's also the individual that set up the CNC operation for Rem in Aniston,Alabama)
I think Remington really missed the boat when they made the Lapua on a 700 action... they could have easily scaled the action up slightly with a larger thread and a longer length and a larger bolt... and an original style extractor system to fit the Lapua case... then they would have had something... as it is the big case just doesn't do well on a 700 action.
