Gunsmithing Is a Timberwolf .300prc conversion possible?

[Mavrykk]

I figure I better ask the professionals first. Since I'm still learning.
Would a timberwolf action and bolt face run a .300prc ?
If I was to get a new barrel zipped up for it?

The TWolf has a super magnum .588 diameter bolt face (.338 lapua, .338 norma, .300 norma, etc). The PRC uses a standard magnum .532 diameter bolt face so you would need to downgrade the bolt face to .532 to run the .300 PRC.

i'd do a 300 or 338 norma instead of messing with the bolt

Agreed, or even a 300 Norma improved.

I've pondered those choices heavily.
But since i don't load my own.
I think the PRC would be a better choice for myself.

Just curious, but why don’t you reload? Once you get into some of these newer cartridges with relatively limited factory match ammo options, reloading has its advantages.

You'd have to email PGW and ask them if they make a regular magnum bolt for the Timberwolf.

I'm just not that far into the game yet.
Plus free time seems near impossible to find.
