[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 1734578, member: 40749"] The T3 action is intermediate in length and struggles with long action cartridges and VLD bullets. A 300 Win Mag with 212gn ELD seated correctly won't feed properly through the bottom of the action as the cartridge is longer than the opening. Another suggestion of the 7mm SAUM type cartridge. Yes the 308 size boltface will need to be opened up, but extractors are readily available from the OEM and they will clip in. Magazine boxes are readily available from the OEM for 270 and 300 WSM. If leaving the standard boltface intact is essential, why not the 284 Winchester? Or get adventurous and neck up the new 6.5 Weatherby cartridge. [/QUOTE]
