The problem is this is a PT&G bolt. I can see the edge of the extractor under the rivet extending inside the bolt. Improperly cut recess so no fix using the current style extractor.The magnums all still use a riveted extractor. The fix for that problem is to remove the rivet and replace with a new one properly seated and backed up by an anvil when it is peened over.
Worse comes to worse a modified (thinned) keyslot cutter can cut it deeper.Improperly cut recess so no fix using the current style extractor.
If it comes down to this option I have a cutter I modified to do this. Mine was a 223 bolt but Im sure the cutter will work PM me if you need itWorse comes to worse a modified (thinned) keyslot cutter can cut it deeper.

Thanks for the offer. I think I may have a rivet somewhere.If it comes down to this option I have a cutter I modified to do this. Mine was a 223 bolt but Im sure the cutter will work PM me if you need it
It would be a single shot. You need a small plastic hammer to tap the bolt into place.I guess you will have to notch the brass and make sure they are timed correctly when loading, it is good that 300 WM usually not a dangerous game gun so if a round is not timed correctly no will probably die.
I don't make my living doing what you do, but from where I sit I would let the customer know what the issue is and what options he has - including what you could do but as a different/new price job.Just had a rare revelation. I don't want to be the last person to touch this. Very seldom does it turn out well.
