All one has to do is take a look at the way the roller locks up and you will realize that it is a very weak action compared to a falling block.
Ever see a roller chambered fro the factory in stuff like 300 mag ?

I would never shoot one if I saw a re-chambered one in that cartridge, that is for sure!!
