[QUOTE="OKbow87, post: 282496, member: 5668"] I just wanted to pick the brains of some experts around here about a project I have been thinking up. I am wanting to build a 300 saum on a s/a and run the 208 amax. Right now I am planning on using a surgeon round action in their wsm pattern with the 3.110" port in the bottom of the reciever and the seekins wsm bottom metal when it comes out, which is supposed to allow you to load to 3.1". As I see it the surgeon bolt and bolt stop should already be machined where it travels far enough to pick up the cases from the magazine and allow enough room for ejecting a loaded case. This is my main reason for using this action even though I believe you can do the same thing with a regular 700 s/a with some machining. I guess what I am looking for is somebody to confirm my thoughts and to tell me if there is anything I haven't thought of that goes along with using this set up. And just incase anybody was wondering my thoughts on this... loading to 3.095"-3.1" with the 208 amax which is 1.535" long itself will actually allow me to have more case capacity than what the nosler guide shows with it loaded to 2.825" with the 200 accubond which is 1.490". This should allow me to use some slower powders from what their data shows, like h100 and retumbo. So I think I will be able to get some pretty good numbers out of a 26" barell, 2900+. Like I said any comments anybody has I would be more than happy to hear them. [/QUOTE]
