[QUOTE="woods, post: 460009, member: 6042"] I have converted 3 win mags to other calibers. The first was a Browning BBR 300 win mag that I put a 26" Douglas XX 6.5 barrel on to make a 6.5 rem mag [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/DSCN1248.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/HPIM1163.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/HPIM1160.jpg[/IMG] Right now I am shooting a 130 gr Scirrocco II at 3200 fps A buddy liked mine so much he had me rebarrel one of his 300 win mags, a Vanguard, into a 6.5 rem mag with a 26" Shilen Recently I rebarreled a 264 win mag Winchester Model 70 push feed into a 375 Ruger. Put a 24" #5 contour Pac-Nor 3 groove barrel on it [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/DSCN1860.jpg[/IMG] Right now it is shooting a 270 gr TSX at 2850 fps Either of these 2 calibers is an easy conversion for a win mag, either have commercially available dies and cases, which can be a big deal. Oh, almost forgot that I also rebarreled a 338 win mag into a 338RUM. The RUM has a slightly larger case head but the CRF picked the case head up just fine and did not have to do any bolt face work. The rifle had a long magazine which is a pre requisite since the RUM should go in a longer action. Have to seat the bullets pretty deep but everything worked out and it is shooting a 225 gr TTSX at 3100 fps [/QUOTE]
