Guys,
Has anyone managed to modify a Stevens 200 inline magazine box (for 308Win) to feed and function with a WSM or derivative?
Some mates here in Australia have been fiddling with a 45cal on the WSSM and the results look good to date with ballistics not quite upto 458WinMag, but beyond a 45/70.
If I can get the magazine box to feed ... I'm considering rebating the rim to 0.473", re-cutting the extractor groove and trying one through a Stevens 200.
Here's an idea of what the cartridge looks like and what I need to get feeding.
The 458JCE is second from the left, next to the 243WSSM case ... then a 458Lott and a 223Rem.
