Make shur the mag box sides are straight and fit out tightly in the bottom of the action. It sounds like one side is bent in

Usually the foam fill is not strong enough to hold the screws drii 1/2 in holes 2 in deep where the screws go and epoxy 1/2 in wood dowels in the holes use enough epoxy in the holes so that it pushes out when you put the dowels in you want it to push in to the foam to get a good bite

Wyo. plan meets every aspect +some that US wildlife set forth in the origanal agreement. why should they be forced to accept more? Were they being lied to from the start? Of corse they were. Here in Idaho we have at least 7 times as many as they said we needed. They don't count any in the...

The one piece base should do very nicely if it has multiple slots. If you decide you want to beef up the rings later Weaver grand slams Leupold PRW or QRW will work fine and give you a very strong mounting.

The SAMMI spec reamer will have a throat on it that will clear all factory loads so you may have trouble seating near the lands. Bullets under 165 gr. you will probably not get close

Fire lapping would probably help a lot you all ready have a long throat in the Weatherby chamber so the throat wash caused by fire lapping should not cause any additional problems. Hand lapping is better I think but it is something that you most likely are not going to be able to do yourself.

Where the bolt is hard to lift I would say it is high pressure this could be caused by a chamber or throat out of spec. It could also be caused by interior barrel Finnish or if it has been shot more than you think it could have a section of copper build up that you might not be able to see...

Tempture, humidity, altitude,(barometric pressure) will all affect group size 1/4 in change in size is well within the norm. Some powders are much more temp sensitive and velocity change can be significant witch will affect accracy.

7mag will work great for the 264 7 mag is a long action

Any short action with a 308 bolt face wil work nicely if you are going to feed from the mag you may want to use the 22-250 mag spacer and follower. use a long action with magnum bolt face

Necking down the 45-70 to 30 cal would give you a 30x348 win P.O. Ackley did a lot of these in the improved version they make a very potent 30 cal lever gun
