Help me build a .300 win mag

Need a little help here. I bought a 111 w/ accutrigger .270 from a pawn shop "cheap" and considering a .300 win mag build. I need help with parts selection. It will be mounted in a B&C Duramaxx or a BVSS stock..thanks in advance!

By barrel here on SS.com $65 in the classifieds.

Buy complete bolt from Midway $110+.

Swap out ejector, spring and retaining pin into the new bolt.

If it is a Center Feed... slowly tweak magazine to fit. I place one round in the Magazine, measure from the top of the case to the rear edge of the magazine. then I adjust it until the 300WM case is at the same height. Not sure if that works for the Stagger Feed.

Load cartridges in gun and point in a safe direction. Squeeze trigger.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info; I will be ordering a CBI barrel in the next couple of weeks.
I 'll look around for the magnum bolt or order from Midway.

Edited my post did not want to break any swap or trade rules....

dont think you woulda broke any rules(well...i guess technically maybe), but you were just trying to help out a fellow member.
I just swapped boltheads with a member here also and it did make it very easy. He needed what I had and i needed what he had so it was a no brainer.

OK .... I am new to the forum so this question may have been answered somewhere else. But anyway, here goes. I bought a Stevens 200 in 7mm-08 ... primarily because it seemed to be a cheap way to own a "barrel swap" gun. Now I want to rechamber the 7mm-08 to 7mm WSM. If I am right, I will simply need to:

1. Swap out the bolt head and I can use the part for a Savage 10 to do that?
2. Ream out the chamber.

Questions ....
1. Midway has the bolt heads on backorder. Where else might I find one?
2. What are the chances that I can buy a t-handle, rent a reamer from Pacific Toll, and ream the thing out by hand (as in I do not own a metal lathe)?
3. How much trouble am I going to have with the rounds cycling through the magazine?

What are the odds. I recently purchased a new 111 in 300 Win Mag and converted it to a 270!!!!!
Still have the parts too. I love being able to change the guns so easily and still have a great shooter.

About the WSM.... You would need a new bolt head like you mentioned. Probably a new firing pin assembly. If you didn't remove the barrel the smith would do that and then reheadspace it for you. Now we are getting into the $200+++ range. You would need to buy a magazine or modify yours. Your twist rate is probably not optimal for heavier bullets but would do ok.

Or you could buy a Shaw barrel from Gun Shack right now for 158 + TT&L, buy a short action magnum bolt assembly, read up on barrel removal and headspacing on this site. Go shooting.

Anything with a 308 based case is a much easier swap for you. 22-250, 243, 260, 7mm-08, 284, 308, 338F, 358W. Those last two have some knock down power but not considered to be 300 yard calibers.

Good luck

Thanks parkj5 for offering to trade. I might find a magnum donor to build from; which will be better to build from anyway. I just got a little anxious to build something else.

Stangfish ... thanks for your reply. I think I figured out how to get my questions in a New Post instead of invading this one. Thanks everyone for your patience.
