    Converting WSM to a SAUM?


    Okay, so my plan is to take either a 270 WSM model 16 center feed action or a 300 WSM model 11 center feed action and turn it into a 7mm SAUM. My question is, will either action work as it sits, or will I have to change anything on it for it to work properly? Any advice of any kind would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Change the barrel and use 7mm SAUM brass and 7mm bullets. All three cartridges are .535 bolt face.

    That's my plan unless there is something else I'm not thinking of, or don't know about.

    My 270wsm started life as a 7saum and it was as simple as a barrel swap, so I don't see why it would work going the other way.

    Well, looks like I'm gonna stick with the original plan. Same as what stangfish said. Hadn't heard anything to suggest otherwise. Thanks for the help everyone.
