[QUOTE="wnroscoe, post: 188382, member: 6698"] All right, here ya go. I made a call for you and here’s the info with a short story. I had a Remington 700 LA chambered in 7mmRM that I sold to a friend. My friend had Terry Cross of KMW install a new barrel on the rifle and chamberd it in 300 RUM. Terry also added a slotted mag box in it. The factory follower remained in the rifle. I don’t know for sure but, I think Terry opened up the feed rails just a slight amount. The reason I think so is because a 300RUM case will pass through the rails and not one but two will fit in the mag box and yes, a 300WM will fit and stay in the mag box unassisted. As far as case size, belt diameter, the 300wm is the same/same as the 8mmRM or, you’re STW. The end result will be same/same, both RUM and Belted cases will fit and stay in the mag box being described above. As with all other things, YMMV. Good luck to ya. [/QUOTE]
