I assume the bolt face will need to be opened up? Will feeding be a problem from the current magazine?

Thanks

Nope, and not likely. It'd be worth getting a dummy round or 3 to test feeding.

I recently built a 7WSM specifically for LR shooting using a Rem 700 long action, PTG 0.532" magnum bolt-face bolt, and AICS .338 LM mags. Feeds slicker than snot. Shoots a 195gr bullet with 0.755 BC at 2900 fps with 64gr of powder. Pretty good bang for buck, and can seat the longest bullets out into the lands in a standard long action.
