Changing a 300 suam to a 300 wsm

[scott_r]

How hard and how much money would it take to convert a 300 saum to a 300wsm??

Cheers!!

I think I read somewhere that Epps is doing this conversion on a regular basis. I'd try there for starting info.

shouldn't be that much. I believe it's a matter of reaming the chamber?? Well worth it if you buy factory ammo, that's for sure.

...and making a magazine that may to too short - longer.

Epps charges around 60 bucks for this conversion. Pretty simple really.
Best to leave it as is for the time being though...theres lots of cheap SAUM factory ammo floating around right now, and with any luck by the time that dries up the cost of WSM ammo will have come down a bit....then re-chamber.

As far as the mags go? Never heard of it being a problem.
