[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 3104926, member: 68758"] I've done a few conversions to .300 Win Mag, only after careful inspection of the receiver and discussion with the customers. What you need to be cognizant of is that lengthening the receiver cutout requires removal of the material directly behind the bottom lug abutment, weakening it. The larger casehead of the magnum cartridges creates substantially more bolt thrust than the .473 dia casehead. Countless big game rifles have been converted to magnums, but I'd avoid it if the smaller cartridge will suit your application. JMO [/QUOTE]
