Long time largely casual observer more than an active participant here.
A buddy recently asked what I was actually going to do with my 6.5 WSSM project rifle that has been languishing in the back of my safe.
Soooo, I have this Browning A-Bolt that once was a .223 WSSM and was converted to 6.5 WSSM. I have been considering converting it to .223 Remington. The action size/length is very appealing to me for the smaller .223 Rem. cartridge and there is no doubt .223 Rem. brass will be much easier to find in the future than any of the WSSM's.
Can somebody here provide more information regarding what all will be entailed in performing such a conversion? Can it even be done going from the oversized diameter of the WSSM to the petite diameter of the .223 rem.?
Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
