Re barrel, question

[spudgun]

I have a 6.5 CM Savage.

Wish to change calibers by re barreling it.

Does anyone have the different calibers that will fit the bolt face.

I think 6mm CM, 308 win are the same bolt but are there others?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm assuming this is a short action, yes? Any standard bolt face (.473) short action cartridges will work for you in your action. Just to mention a few, anything based off of the 6 BR case, any of the .243, 260 Rem, 7-08, 308 cases, and everything off of a Creedmoor case, 22-250 and anything with it's parent case. There are others but these would probably be the most popular choices.

It's probably easier to say what won't work. Anything small like a 223 or big like a magnum.

Plus remember you can always replace the floating bolt head with one that fits what you re-chamber or us a pre-fit barrel in.

What and how do you shoot, target or hunt and at what distances? I have changed most of my Savage's over to 6mmBR and currently a 6.5x47 Lapua.

The .303 Savage is a rimmed cartridge which has a 0.505" rim diameter. Won't fit.

Oops, my bad!

What is wrong with your Creed?

What is wrong with your Creed?

Well I got bored and bought at Savage Axis in 308. Rebarreled it for 6mm Creed, Timminey trigger and Boyds AT-one stock, Vortex GE. Glad I kept the 6.5 CM as a 6.5 CM. They both shoot 4" groups at 600 yds.

look in your reloading manual and any cartridges with a .473 head will work in your action without having to change the bolthead whitch by the way on a savage you can do.
