I have a friend/customer who is looking at building a lazzaroni and we are looking into what actions to use. I have a Remington 7Mag action. I know the boltface is not the same. Any other problems i should expect? Anyone have experience with these cartriges? Curtis | ||

I had a 8.59 galaxy built on a Rem 700 SA.  Sold the rifle to a friend so still have access to it. There are a couple of challenges: 1: the 580 case head is very big for the Remington bolt face. It can be done, but there is very little room left. 2: the plunger ejector is not really strong enough to throw out a loaded round so a loaded round doesn't really eject. It has a tendency to just lay in the action after words. Not really a big deal. You may want to find a action with a slightly larger bolt body than the Remington. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

I had concern of opening the boltface that far. Curtis | |||

I guess remington chambered some of their bolt actions in 338 Lapua, so it is possible. I'd also worry about strength of the action and chamber though. | |||

The 700 action is as strong as they come. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend, it is my life. | |||

Well, if winchester had some of their 1" tennons chambered in WSM rounds stretch, then another 0.063" of steel in the remington is "extra," until you go even bigger than the WSM. I've seen R700 bolt faces opened up for the lapua, and I just don't have the same confidence as when it's in 308. As I said, I've seen it done, but I don't think there is a lot of room for error when reloading. | |||

I have absolutely no worries about strength of action, but i was just curious about opening the bold face up that far. I think it is plenty feasible. The customer might have an opportunity to purchase one used at a good price but if that falls through we migh go forward with the build. Curtis | |||
