I'm looking for a Rem 700 short action BDL magazine box for the 308 family of cartridges. If you have a spare one laying around let me know. It appears that spare parts from Remington have dried up since their bankruptcy.

Yes, I think it's a reference to the Civilian Marksmanship Program in OH. They put on the national rifle and pistol matches, and sell surplus 1911s and M1 Garands.

The .473 standard bolt face is too big. It might work most of the time, but you'll more than likely have extraction issues, especially if using hot loads. The Grendel case has a 0.442 rim diameter. I can't imagine it will feed all that great either. You'd be better off with a 6 Creedmoor...
The 445 Super Mag uses 0.429" diameter bullets. The 450 Bushmaster uses 0.452" bullets. Either you're really lucky that you didn't rupture your barrel, or something in your story isn't quite right.
