[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1096593, member: 79106"] I believe it is certainly feasible. The WSM cartridge base is only .003 larger in diameter. The case itself is however .022 larger diameter so you may have to relieve the rails somewhat. Another option would be the Ruger compact magnum. The base size is identical to the Win mag and the case diameter is the same as the Winchester belt diameter. You would lose some velocity but you could load the long VLD's easily. I would recommend replacing the barrel though. JM2C Good luck and good shooting gun) [/QUOTE]
