270wsm to 7prc

[hunter284]

I have a Remington 700 stainless and would like to know if I can have it rebarreled to 7prc???

 

[hunter284]

The Remington is a 270wsm

7 PRC needs long action w/ mag bolt. You could go w/ 6.5 PRC though.

Or 7 wsm

Thank you for your answer to my question.

Nope, sorry. The 6.5 PRC uses a mag (.540) bolt, as well.

Doesn't a 270 wsm have a mag bolt face.

Action length is the limiting factor, not bolt face.

Same bolt face folks.

Just a thought.. why not rebarrel to a 7/270wsm just neck up your current brass?

Nope. 6.5 PRC will require a .540 bolt face. It's made every day on short, medium and long actions. His .270 bolt face would have to be opened up or a replacement bolt employed.

But I did miss the fact that he has a WSM bolt. Length of action certainly affects what he can do with his loads, but isn't a deal killer for the 6.5 PRC. Having said that, mine is still on a long action.

It must be painful for you to admit you're wrong.

 

[G. Neely]

Not at all…but I see you have difficulty with it.

Then why didn't you because everything you've posted in this thread was incorrect
