Can I rebarrel a 7UM with a 7PRC?

[Bluebullet96]

I have a Remington model 700 in 7mm Ultra Mag that I burned the barrel out on. I'm planning on sending it to Hart for blueprinting and a rebarrel. I'm trying to figure out if it would be possible to rebarrel in 7mm PRC with just a simple barrel swap? Would the magnum length action work for the standard length 7prc? Would I have to change internals in the mag well? Any other unforeseen obstacles I'm not mentioning? On that note I have about 8 or 10 boxes of 7mmUM factory ammo and 100 or so once shot brass that I would be willing to let go to fund the rebarrel project.

It's doable with a barrel swap. No pressing need to use an RUM action with its extra mag length except for the fact you have it already. Lots of 300 PRC's out there built on Rum actions without issue.

Should work fine
