[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2782248, member: 27307"] You will need to consider the feed rails when you switch from the .308 to the .223 cartridge. The space between the rails is larger for the .308 than the .223 so the .223 will pop up without being retained by the rails. Another consideration is the follower, box and spring which are sized for the .223 cartridge instead of the .308 which are larger. With switch barrel rifles we usually try to keep the 2nd barrel chambered for the same family of cartridges, in your situation, the .260 or the .243. :) [/QUOTE]
