[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1542845, member: 13632"] You can build using a small shank with no issues, many RUMs an WSMs have been built on them. I would use a Magnum case center feed rifle but I don't have one laying around to verify feeding with a long WSM, you don't need to change bolt head or firing pin if you start with a magnum. I set up 300's for the 215 Berger seated at 3.2 overall length and in a 24 inch barrel they run 2900 fps with out top pressure. Pretty much in line with a 300 Win but runs better from shorter long actions. [/QUOTE]
