.300 PRC in AXMC?

[m1a convert]

My understanding and tell me if I am wrong.

Bolt face for .300 Win Mag is .540
According to an article I read the bolt face for the .300 PRC is .532

Soo...does this mean that you can't run a .300 PRC in an AXMC with .300 Mag bolt and magazines?

Thanks

Case head sizes for both cartridges are the same.

Awesome. Will the PRC feed from a WM mag?

I'm waiting on one that Dave Tooley is making for my AXMC.
From what I can tell from lining them up, the AXMC .300WM magazines are the same length internally as the .338LM ones, so I think there shouldn't be an issue.

So would you use .338 or .300 mags. I already have .338 mags.

 

[Supersubes]

Use the wm mags. W54 was just noting the internal measurement for both is the same

Same bolt face, same mags as 300 win mag, yes it does work.

338 mags might work but it's going to be sloppy. AXMC is double stack, yeah? The AICS pattern CIP 338 mag barely holds onto a 300 PRC dummy I have.

Any updates from anyone running 300 PRC in the AXMC? Still running smoothly? Was leaning to 300NM but the option to have relatively inexpensive factory ammo is worth a lot to me, so I was thinking about going that route.
