[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1129602, member: 2736"] With only 1000 rounds through the barrel you should be ok, But as BH said, be sure and check it before you start. If you fired it many times in rapid succession and the barrel got hot, it may have to be replaced. If it looks ok, the 1/16th (One thread) will clean it up without cutting the barrel shank and shortening the barrel 3/4 + Inches. If you change to a 7mmx300 you will have to cut to much of the chamber out to do a 1/16th set back because the cartridge is shorter. If you re barrel, then it would not be a problem. The cost of setting the chamber back should be a lot less but a barrel change might be the best move in the long run. I agree with you about barrel length of the 7 WSM It should be at least 23" to 24" to keep from giving up to much. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
