If I go with a cartridge that requires a magnum bolt face, would I need to do anything to the feed ramp or any other modifications?
Just in general, the rails will need to be widened to accommodate the larger diameter cartridge. Sometime the feed ramp needs some adjusting because of the difference in the geometry of the feeding going from '06 length and diameter to belted magnum length and diameter. Most of the belted mags are similar in length to the '06 but a few are longer (300 Win Mag, 7mm STW, etc.).
