[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 2329541, member: 74670"] To make it work you need a gunsmith to extend your freebore for the longer bullet so you don't have to seat it so deeply.. Then you have to get an extended magazine box and follower and have a gunsmith open up the the bottom of your action to allow it to fit. You will also have to open up the ejection port and shorten the bolt stop so the bolt is allowed to move back farther to pick up the longer cartridge. The longer ejection port also avoids causing the ejection to be killed by hitting the the old smaller port when an each reaches the end of the bolt through. [/QUOTE]
