First off check out what short round said about the alignment cut.a .30-'06 head should, right?
I also have a Savage flat back long action that came in 7mm magnum. I have always just switched the bolt head with a standard 30-06. Have used this action as a 7mm magnum, 6.5x55, and 308 or 243 single shot. Never have had modify anything just switch bolt heads. Right now it is set up as a 6.5 Creedmoor single shot....head space is correct, feeding and extraction/ejection are flawless. How old is your action....what is the prefix letter on the serial number?
