What would you do?

I’d get the rifle chambered for the cartridge you really want, not just what fits the bolt face. Good used replacement bolt is $250ish, sell yours for $250ish. Magazines and followers are pretty cheap for push feed guns.

Not deceived at all. It’s buried in the 100 some odd page 6 UM thread, but there were some members having issues.

Not knocking your design at all - you clearly have it figured out. For me personally, a 6 PRC is more appealing.

Carry on.

I'm not taking offense at all. But what you are saying isn't true.

If there were 100 pages of 6PRC, there would also be some issues, and some of those issues are customer issues, not rifle issues

In the hundreds of load devs I have done for myself or customers, you start to see a trend with cartridges. The 28 Nosler, 300 Rum, and the 6-7PRC come to mind as finicky.

I also agree with you, the 6PRC is a fantastic cartridge, especially with the new 6mm bullet offerings on the horizon. But the 6um30 is better cause you can load and go. But I might be a little biased on that one.

1 less step in the reloading process certainly doesn't hurt the argument for the 6 UM over the PRC.

I'd definitely start with a good recoil pad and effective suppressor...you may find it tolerable to likable.

The 300WSM is a fantastic cartridge. Don't give up. Suppress it, get a better butt pad and perhaps add a little weight to it. Lots of ways to add weight.
