[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1603981, member: 10755"] Ok, here goes. Firstly, the 308 would be simpler and less costly because no bolt machining, opening of feed lips and mag box alteration is required. You MAY need a spacer added to the mag box so the cartridge is timed better if feeding is an issue. A 264WM WILL require boltface machining, feed lip alteration and, if a 2.250” mag length, the mag box will either need replacing, or cutting and extending. You want 3.400” for reliable feeding and loading with a 264WM. Or any ‘standard’ length magnums. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
