Would I have problems?

[toadyoforangeville]

I plan on rebarreling my interams mark x in 308 to a 350 rem mag, always wanted a 350, but never had something to make it from. My questions are as follws

1. Would the 350 feed well from the mag? Being a belted mag and larger diameter than 308 win.

2. Is the bolt face going to be hard to modify/replace, the mark x is a mauser 98 action as far as I know.

3. I plan on using 225 nosler ballistic tips, or accubonds (not so sure the BTs are still made), will the action be long enough for this bullet without having to seat it really deep?

4. Anybody want the job? I know a smith, but he is hard to contact and takes forever to do anything ie 2 weeks to drill and tap 4 holes.

Thanks for your help, and I really hope this can be done witout a lot of problems as its been on my "gotta have list" ever since i picked up one of those short fat belted rounds lol

Only problem I can see is the action length. Measure the magazine area against the cartridge. If the magazine area is smaller than the cartridge then the conversion will not work.

Good luck
