Bolt Face

Hello not a newbie @ shooting, but got a newbie question. Will a .308 bolt face accommodate a .308, 6 Dasher & 6 PPC, was looking in making a Rem 40x with those switch barrels to shoot either benchrest & mid range F class..
 
The stock extractor "might" pull a ppc case. But most likely you will have some problems, and it probably wont eject reliably either. Another thing to consider is Lapua 220 russian cases have about a .165 thick case head. A rem bolt nose with .010 of end clearance leaves .160 of unsupported case head. That makes me a little nervous. A sako extractor conversion can solve both issues. Some guys feel like the sako is less safe than the original setup. Most of the actions we use have the sako, so it does not bother me.

Thanks Alex…
 
I wanted to cut cost that way. It didn't work well with me once i got one barrel to shooting good i hated to change it. I just couldn't maintain confidence in it. Invest in good equipment it'll hold it's value.
