[QUOTE="Lionel Boyd Johnson, post: 2395428, member: 110111"] I have two custom rifles built on Winchester Pre-64 actions. All Pre-64 actions are the same length and all bolts are the same length. Winchester altered magazine boxes, followers and feed ramps for the two H&H magnums; and did use fillers and shorter followers for the .308 length cartridges. Having said all of this my two customs are a .243 and a .308. No alterations to the actions, magazine boxes or followers were needed. I shot both rifles in NRA competition, including rapid fire from the magazines. I never had a glitch in feeding. You load the cartridges to the BACK of the magazine, not to the front. So, you can feel confident choosing any caliber you like that uses the "standard" 30-06 head diameter. For cases with larger diameters, and / or larger head diameters, significant alterations will be needed. -Ed [/QUOTE]
