Anyone install/run a 300wsm in a ctr stock and open up the ctr magazine? I’m planning on doing so but have a question on how to open up the magazine lips since there’s indentations on the sides, do I just open the lips before the indentations ( see pictures, so just bend it from the highlighted point out?) thanks.

No answer for you. Just curious why not use an aics bottom metal, Id think it would be easier and more consistent than modifying the factory mag?

Primary reason I can think of is you can buy a takeoff CTR stock/bottom metal/mag for $150.

I wouldn't want to be the one figuring it out but i can see why someone would try.

Yup, got one on the way, if it don’t work I can always use it for my other 7mm-08 build.

I've done this with a 6.5 prc, just bent the top end of the lips a tiny bit and it feeds fine.
