Gunsmithing Remington 700 Extractors - Mini M16 vs M16

[EXSOCAL]

Are there any advantages to either the Mini M16 or the standard M16 extractor. I ordered the 1 piece bolt for my Win Mag last week from PT&G and was asked which M16 extractor I wanted. I was thinking the larger M16 extractor would get a better bite on the Win Mag brass... ANyone have any thoughts or comments.

Gracias!

I would use the Mini M16!

Less material removed from the bolt, alot of smiths use the .172 wide sako extractors for .473 and .532 bolt face with zero issues, a mini M16 is around .187 wide, My Borden 300wm uses a .172 wide Sako and it extracts flawlessly,Defiance uses the mini m16, a Badger M16 is .255 wide, so if you think you need to hook more of the rim go bigger,but I don't believe you need it!
