What was supposed to be a .260, has been ordered changed to .300 WSM.
First thought was the obvious, new bolt w/magnum boltface and change the extractor.
Haven't build a SA magnum yet, so a couple more "what if's" have me concerned.
Are lugs/receiver abutments on the M700 magnum SA beefier than the standard SA? I'm concerned about bolt thrust...
It's obvious the receiver will need the feed rails milled out a bit- assuming that will allow reliable feeding (internal box, hunting rifle)?
Still need to find out the intended boolit of choice- receiver has already been modified for the Wyatt MBE-5 (2.995) , any issues with OAL possible?
Bottom line question- should I just use this modified receiver for another build, and get an M700 magnum SA for this one?
