Was wanting to try a 'fatter' cartridge pen, and was thinking that the WSM line-up might be a good place to go.
The .308 Winchester cartridge has a .4728" rim diameter, and 2.800" in lenght.
The 30-06 Springfield cartridge has a .4728" rim diameter, and 3.340" in lenght.
BUT
The 300 WSM cartridge has a .5350" rim diameter, and is still 2.860" in lenght. And is supposed to run .5550" at the widest part of it's 'body'! That should make for one fat pen!!
Just wondering if anyone is already doing this, and if you are...what bushings are you using?
