My 1910 Ross is an extremely accurate rifle. The whole "bolt in the forehead thing" has been grossly exagerated.

No, it has not been exaggerated. I have a M10 (NOT the military rifle) in 280 Ross. If you assemble the bolt incorrectly, the only thing holding the bolt in is the sear. Scary as hell, and it's reputation is deserved.
I always check, double check, and triple check the bolt head rotates as I close the bolt every time I pick it up.
Gotta vent - it seems all the cool kids are using 375 Ruger brass to make 280 Ross brass. That brass is heavy as all hell, and you lose about 6 grains of powder capacity over using normal .532 head size magnum brass like 300 Winchester. It will also break sizing dies, which is why I made a sizing die from 1.5" 4140 to fit a Rockchucker with the bushing removed.
