I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge/experience about feeding from an X-Bolt factory magazine after a rebarrel. I would be looking to turn an X-Bolt 30-06 into either a 338-06 or 35 Whelen. My concern is whether or not the larger bullets will feed smoothly from the factory magazine. The X-Bolt isn't chambered in either round from the factory.
One gunsmith I spoke to felt it would work, although he didn't have any personal experience doing it. Just thought I would "crowdsource" some opinions before pursuing it further.
