Quick back story. Always wanted to build a rifle and decided that I wanted a 264 win mag. I purchased a r700 in 7mm as a donor rifle, easy peasy, buy the appropriate machining tools and everything will work out perfectly since the 264 win and the 7mm are the same case.
Now the monkey wrench. After allot of nagging from a good gun buddy, I've been looking at turning the same donor rifle into a 26 nosler round.
The question. What problems am I going to run into? Bending feed lips? Is the actions bottom opening to short for a 26 nosler bullet?
Basically I don't want to take on something that is a bag of problems for a first project
Thanks in advance
