How BespokeGun tests rifles: component strength verification and a .338 LM stuck-case experiment. What the test shows and why a large strength reserve matters

The experiment was conducted in three stages:

First, we tried to "pull out" the ejector with one hand. No matter how hard we pulled on the bolt handle, the ejector remained firmly attached to the cartridge case.
After the ejector had captured the cartridge case flange, we attempted to remove it using a hammer by striking the bolt handle. This time, the ejector did detach. However, upon further examination, it became clear that there were no visible damages on the ejector, which was not the case with the condition of the cartridge case flange, which had already developed plastic deformations, making it impossible to repeat this stage of the experiment without causing immediate failure.

To continue our attempts to destroy the ejector, we removed the receiver, grabbed a relatively intact section of the cartridge case flange, and pulled with both hands. Unfortunately, the cartridge case started to break down faster than we expected, and the failures became more frequent, leading to the end of the experiment.

After three stages of the experiment, we received a perfectly smooth ejector edge without any chips or damage, as well as a destroyed cartridge case flange. This experiment once again confirms the high durability of each component of the Specter bolt group. As a result, our rifle can be used safely and comfortably even in extreme conditions.
