[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1007976, member: 12995"] If you try to rebarrel a .223 to anything larger, you will have to open up the bolt face as well. Only a handful of calibers use the small .223 bolt face (.223 and .300 BLK use the same bolt face, but .308 Win uses the larger .470" bolt face). You will have to have it opened up to a .470" for calibers like .22-250, .243, 6mm Rem, .308 Win, etc... You will also have to chance out the magazine follower, and might have to open up the feed rails of the action. Once that's all been done, there's no going back to a .223 with that action. Not that there's anything wrong with your choice, just making sure you are aware. [/QUOTE]
