The bolt face will need to be opened also or change the bolt out with one from PTG.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Why would the bolt head have to be opened up? The Ultra has the same rim diameter as the 300 win.

Just curious

Thought the ultra was on the 404 case?

The ultra is a heavily modified 404. Has a micro rebated RIM that measures .532 same as all the regular magnums.

All you will need to change is the mag box. You can run a reamer and convert that 300 Win Mag quite easily.
