    Na I've seen it before where people take brass and machine the rim smaller to suit the bolt face. Ends up looking funny a bit like the 450 bushmaster where the rim is much smaller than the base.no good for a controlled feed but ok for push feed or single shot.you have to turn each piece of brass but you can grind a cutter to the correct shape and its fast enough just dont throw your brass away!

    It already sports a Nielsen adapter, and if you read the initial post, part of the question was 30 cal, I'd like to keep the existing barrel

    Got about 5 others in .308 and some actions too if anyone wants to join the fan club. Good cheap long range rigs that shoot just as well as any modern rifle

    Do something new New Zealand.

    I'll repeat myself.

    425 westley richards/30 cal.
    Neck down and go.

    Will fit your existing bolt face.
    Around 110gr capacity.

    Even mildly loaded that should boot some bullets up the arse pretty good.

    What have you got to lose?
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.
