[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1535034, member: 12995"] The Sherman cartridges use a .473" bolt face, they don't use the magnum bolt face that the .300WM uses. So, that would make it very difficult to build a magnum and non-magnum cartridge in the same shared action. That being said, you could build 2 long actions, one in a Sherman cartridge that uses the .473" (standard) bolt face, and then share it with all the short-action cartridges that use the same .308/.30-06 .473" bolt face. And you can build the other in a magnum long action, that is also a switch-barrel, that allows you to build any of the belted magnums you want on it. [/QUOTE]
