Re-chambering a .308 bbl to .300 Winchester Magnum
« on: February 13, 2009, 09:30:31 AM »
Will the Handi SB-2 handle this round or maybe a .300 Ruger? Should I use another .30 cal bbl to start with rather than the .308? Does anyone have any experience in this area? Is it a do it yourself project? How expensive is it? Thanks

Frame will not handle magnum loads.

That gun never existed.  It was not going to be on a regular sb2 frame.  It has been tried without success. It is too much for the frame and underlug.
