[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1446737, member: 10755"] This debate has it’s points. I have a CZ 550 magnum in 505 Gibbs, the bolt face has a minimum wall left, don’t see it being a problem. The case is still positively held. I also built my 338/416 Rigby Improved on a CZ 550 magnum action. There’s plenty of meat in the bolt face left to handle the .590” rim. I just copied my 416 Rigby in the same action, opened the .532” face to .590” and replaced the extractor. Only issue was that going from .458WM to .416, the ejector is shorter and the case rim hits the action before being ejected due to the larger diameter. It’s now fixed with a longer ejector blade. My 338Edge is built on a Rem 700 that started out as a 300RUM, very difficult rifle to obtain here in Australia. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
