[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 527764, member: 22069"] If I understand correctly, I would start with 330 Dakota brass, run it through a .35 cal neck size die (a Lee Collet Die, for example), then a .338 cal neck size die to form a false shoulder. After that, fire form the brass. I am guessing that the brass would need to be trimmed to length following the fire forming. Is that correct? In looking for a base gun for my build, what am I looking for in order to get an action with the proper feed geometry? Am I looking for something in a standard magnum cartridge? If I have an action with a magnum bolt face, would it still need bolt face modifications? In general, are there any special considerations that I need to be aware of that might affect my choice of a donor action for this build? Where the 6.5 Sin is concerned, I currently have a Ruger 77MkII with a Krieger barrel in 6.5-284 Norma. Would it be a practical idea to convert this rifle by rechambering the barrel, changing the follower, and opening up the bolt face? Sinarms, that is a gorgeous rifle! Thanks for the pics! Thanks for the responses, fellas. I appreciate the advice. [/QUOTE]
