View Full Version : Best CenterFeed Savage Magazine for .458 Win Mag?

IIRC, Savage makes two centerfeed belted magnum magazines. One is for 300 Win Mag and the other is for 7mm Remington Mag, or at least that is how I believe they are marked.
Does anyone actually know which of these two magazines would be better for a centerfeed .458 Win Mag build?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it matters. If there's a difference between them, it's small. I converted a centerfeed 300 win mag to a 338 win mag and didn't change anything with the magazine and it works fine. Savage labels the 338 as using the same magazine as the 7mm but my 300 mag worked fine.

Thanks...I thought that might be the situation.

The .458 WinMag I just built was a .300 WinMag, I didnt do anything to the mag and it feeds perfectly.
