[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1526811, member: 12995"] Yes, just like with any rifle, if you're trying to go down in bolt face diameter, you will need a new bolt (or a bolt head, in some rifle's cases). Also, you will need a new magazine box and follower for the smaller diameter cases. This is why I mentioned the 7mm RemMag and .264 WinMag... It will require no mods, other than a barrel swap. They are also based off the same .300 H&H parent case as the .338 WinMag is. I do recommend blueprinting the action, while the smith has it pulled apart. [/QUOTE]
