I have a remington 740 in 30-06 with a mag thats marked 270 win . My questions is will 30-06 shells work in it?

The older steel bottom mags were dedicated to one caliber but 30.06 should work, later they, Remington labeled long action calibers on the magazine, I.E. 30-06, 270, 280 and short action calibers were put on same magazines . In essence yes. If you have it try it.
I would expect it to work just fine. I had a 742? (the pump action one) in 270 Win, for a short period of time. One of the magazines was marked 30-06.
As far as my experience goes, there is no difference in the magazines for .270/.280/.30-06.
Take care of that mag.They are expensive to replace.
