So, i guess i will repeat, in my opinion you, yourself, couldn't drill a hole through one of these screws in a week's time, because they are naturally hard, and do not need to be 'hardened'. If you had any real world experience working stainless, you would never say that 18-8 steel is 'soft'.

Do you think that by using bold print and large type, you can change false information into true information?!? It doesn't work that way.

You are the one that wrote that the steel used in these ventliners is rated for 80,000 psi. This means to me, that these stainless ventliners are a way stronger than a normal muzzle loader barrel, and in fact, would be able to withstand the pressure of a smokeless magnum cartridge. I fail to understand why you then continue to write, they are unsafe, when in reality, they are a way stronger than the pressures that occur, in a muzzle loader at ignition.
