[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1482713, member: 12443"] I believe you will find that factory 300 wsm Savages are large shank actions, and the magazine and bolt face will work without a change or tinkering with it. My original smith had the reamer which he claimed was a snug no turn neck. But it was a tad too snug and it caused pressure problems with the hotter loads. Turning the necks helped, but I ended up using a different smith to fix the magazine issues and open the neck a little more. I also switched from Winchester to Norma brass which was better. In hindsite I would not have used that cartridge. There are lots of other 6.5 options that will give good results. It is a hot rod 6.5, but it dosent stack up well when compared side by side with larger diameter bullets for long range hunting. [/QUOTE]
