[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 899770, member: 12995"] The .240 Wby is not in the same cartridge family as the .257-.340 Wby family. The .240 Wby uses a standard diameter bolt face (.473"), whereas the the .257-340 uses a magnum bolt face (.531"). And yes, the .240 Wby uses a different action than that of the .257 Wby and larger calibers. The Mark V chambered in .240 Wby (and all other standard cartridges, such as .270 Win & .30-06) uses a 6-lug bolt and action. The .257 Wby and larger calibers use a 9-lug Mark V action. Weatherby Mark V barrels are supposed to be 1.060" shank. [/QUOTE]
