Can I use my old 300WM long action for a 308 rebuild?
S shepp Guest Feb 10, 2008 #2 yes the military does it but you'll need a bolt with a .480 face if you want it to extract the rounds

D Dennis Sorensen Guest Feb 10, 2008 #3 You may want to check to see if a magazine full of .308's will feed correctly before obtaining a bolt with the correct bolt face. If it works I don't think there is any great disadvantage to using a long action over a short action.
