Long action DBM ?

Question?

I have a 114 centerfeed with a DBM, originally in a 30-06. I am considering swapping this to a magnum caliber.

Is this LA bottom metal(270/30-06) the same size as one for a mag caliber(7mag/300wm), or is the entire bottom metal different(longer)? I know i would need a new magnum magazine, but was wanted to make sure that I didnt need the entire bottom metal.

What say you?

Yep, just switch the box. The only difference is the feed lips.

A standard box won't let magnum brass up high enough for the bolt to catch. A magnum box won't keep 30-06 brass in the box.

.......and a magnum bolt head.

The mag box doesn't care what bolt head you use. ;D

I know I need the bolthead.

I thought all Id need for the DBM was the mag but wanted to be sure.

Thanks guys. Im off to the classified section...LOL

I feed my 300 Win Mag from my 30-06 CF magizine. Bend the lips. It is easy
