Savage mag thread engaugement

[Illinois_shooter]

I am building a 300wsm on a Savage target action that was a 223. My question is because the bolt head on the 223 is about .435 thou. thick and the 300wsm bolt head is about .568 thou. thick I am going to have about .138 thou less threads screwed into the action, Is that enough to hold the pressure from 300wsm.
The Lady at Savage said that is what the Weather Warior has????????
Any in put is appreciated. Thanks

It's not a problem, I have the same action with a 7mm SAUM barrel. I also have a Savage long RUM action and it has .700" of thread length measured from the front of the receiver to bolt nose if you want to compare it to your short action. The target action threads are also larger diameter than most actions 1.120" giving it more thread area.
