[QUOTE="Western4444, post: 2420839, member: 118447"] I would not, the 300 prc case diameter is different than a 270 WSM. just order a 7 1/2 twist stainless barrel from Brux barrels for $300 and have a gun smith chamber and put it on for about $150. I like my 270 WSM with a 7 1/2 Twist barrel as much as my 6.8 Western. They shoot almost exactly the same. Except. I do think the 6.8 Western is a little more efficient, but the 270 WSM case holds more powder. I am loading to just over 3000 fps. I have never reached a stress point over 3000 fps, but my best accuracy node is just over 3000. Another observation, my rebarreled 270 WSM is more accurate than before I rebarreled. It could just because I have a custom barrel vs a factory barrel. [/QUOTE]
