6 PPC ACTION

[a220stw]

Gents
Wondering if i can use a Panda action that is currently a 6 PPC AND RE-BARREL TO 220 SWIFT OR SOMETHING ELSE?
OR WILL THE BOLT FACE ONLY WORK ON PPC FAMILY?
THANKS FOR THE HELP

The newer Stolle actions usually will accept both .441 and .473 cases. The older ones, not so much. Unless the bolt has been sent back to Kelbly's for modification.

If you order the action with a so called universal bolt face, that is big enough for the .308 sized cases, and will also work with the PPC, you should be fine. Just remember that there are actions out there that have a PPC bolt face, that will not take anything larger. I mention this in the event that you might be buying a used action or rifle.

yes i am looking at a used action.
i may go the route of having the bolt face opened up to .473
