Hello, first-time poster here. I'm interested in picking up an AXSR in 300 PRC but have a few questions I was hoping one of you might be able to answer. My plan would be to have a 280 Ackley barrel spun up, and I am trying to figure out what bolt I would need to use. Would the .308 bolt work, or will I run into issues given the LA cartridge? Would that concern be assuaged by proper barrel chambering? Would I need to modify specific magazines? Would it instead require a different bolt face on the 300 PRC bolt? Any input is appreciated - Figured I’d try asking here prior to calling Mile High or Accuracy International.
 
300 prc uses a .532 bolt the 280 ai uses a .473 bolt you just need a .473 bolt head and 30-06 mags and you’ll be good to go and a new barrel of course
