[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1534983, member: 12995"] Yes, that part is easy, but when you are running a wider cartridge like the PRC, you will need have the feed rails opened up on the bottom of the action (which requires milling out the rails), on top of running the wider mag box and follower. My custom 7mm STW is built off a 7RUM action, with the RUM mag box and wider feed rails. It feeds fine. But that doesn't mean it won't ever act up. That's the one rifle I'm considering building into a .28 Nosler, just to diversify, since everything is already setup for the RUM/.404 Jeffery cases, and the action is already blueprinted. Literally requires nothing more than spinning up a new barrel and sticking it on. [/QUOTE]
