    Chamber "damage" ?

    DEadwood - Howdy ! The biggest thing is probably.. risk to the shooter. Modern CF rifles are "vented" in varoius fashions. My Wichita WBR1375 single-shot bolt action, has 3ea large holes facing out from the Rt side of the bolt. These holes ostensibly, are for providiing a safe vent path...
