.300 WSM or .300 Win Mag

[smchop]

7 SAUM and 6.5x47 have different case head diameters and the internal dimensions of the feed lips in the action are different also .

May be able to get by with just changing the bolts , no certain on that and you would need to get with the action manufacturer.

I knew about the bolt and just so happened that there was a magnum short action bolt for sale on the Hide, so I snatched it up. I've seen other rifles running on Surgeon actions run both before, meaning a standard boltface caliber and swapped to a magnum caliber. But your right, a quick call to Surgeon won't hurt. Any advice on whether to run SAUM or WSM? Is 1:8 to fast for the 180's? Thanks
