I aint going to wade into this pile, but I'll throw in a little then I'm running. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
The TC will handle most high pressure rounds, 270 Win. in excess of 60,000 psi, 300 Win. Mag., etc. The strength of the action I dont think would be a concern.
As for the barrel being strong enough, measure the outside of the TC barrel (300 Win mag or similiar). I'm guessing it will be about 1.125 diameter. A Win 70 in a WSM or Ultra mag or any caliber for that matter will have a barrel shank of 1.000 of its made to spec, but usually they are a hair smaller. I havent saw a Winchester barrel split so they must be adequate.
I tell you what I would do if I were doing this myself......I'd make a 9.3 X 62 and be done with it. Great cartridge, ammo, brass, dies, load data, its all there. Get Lilja or Kreiger to supply a barrel blank then let the custom smiths "do their thang". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Yeah, I think doing a wildcat is a waste of time......thats coming from a man who invented the 9.3 Sisk and the 9.3 BS <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />
