    Which bolt head for 450 Bushmaster?

    Have an Axis in 223, converting to 450 Bushmaster.

    Which .308 style bolt head do I need?

    Short action .473(308)

    Please keep us informed on your project. I've been toying with the idea of rebarreling my 243 Axis with either the Bushmaster barrel or 45 Raptor.

    Right as usual. Missed that the others are for the short mags.

    Will I need to change the firing pin?
