They put the 240 Wby mag in those 6 lug Mk V's so I don't see a problem with it not being strong enough but where you could run in to trouble is they have a pinned extractor and opening up the bolt face could cause problems because of the location of the pin that holds the extractor in.

A qualified gunsmith will know the answer for sure but I'm thinking the location of the extractor could be the problem.

Rem 700 bolts are the ones you always see people opening up the bolt face on because they're so easy to do and you just replace the factory extractor with a Sako or M16 style but you don't hardly ever see others that have had the bolt face opened and it's nearly always because of the extractor location.
