Can Win Model 70 WSM actions feed Remington short action ultra mags (RSAUM)? Just wondering. The RSAUM case is a little smaller in diameter, and a little shorter. I can't see the length being an issue, but am wondering about the width.

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
In short, yes, they can.
Often slicker than the WSM.
It's the little things that matter.

rinkydinkI would never substitute them. Here's an article that discusses them.
http://www.chuckhawks.com/short_magnums.htmIt states:
"...the new WSM and SAUM short magnums all look very similar to each other. None, however, are interchangeable."

larrys01Yes, We converted a M70 CRF from 300 WSM to 300 RSAUM. It works fine and I have better accuracy.

I can be pretty dumb, but not that dumb. Perhaps I should have been more clear with my intentions , that being a rebarrel job. However, thank you for your concern, and looking out for my safety.
A lot of folks might well have thought to let natural selection take its course.

ColoradoMattI've learned that the 7mm RSAUM is ballistically identical (externaly) to the 280 improved (one grain difference in case capacity). For some reason, I've always thought that the 280 imp. is just cool. Now it can bassically be had in a short action with factory loads, and properly headstamped brass. All of these factors really don't make a hill of beans. My Rem 721 in 7mm-06 does it all in north america, and I think a 7mm-08 and 7x57 would really be just as adequate. I'm just a gun nut that likes mauser type actions and daydreaming about small perceived, but not significant, advantages. Whenever I get slapped really hard, reality briefly reminds me that the boringly common 308 or 30-06 are all that anyone in my neck of the woods will ever need. I rarely live in reality. Too many irons in the fire right now anyway. Just curious.
