[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 282680, member: 2215"] I'm building a 7mm WSM for LRH member jmason right now from a Win 70 WSSM, originally chambered in 243 wssm. Yes, the action is smaller. It can be done but it will have to be a single shot. A live round can't be ejected out the port unless you release the bolt stop. It might be worth while to have the rifle accurized. A good bedding job, free floated barrel, new crown, lugs lapped and the trigger worked over might be all this rifle needs. Or just re-barrel and chamber for the same 243 WSSM. I've built a few of these and they seem to shoot pretty good. Barrel life isn't the longest but for what your using it for it should last quite a long time. [/QUOTE]
