[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 212095, member: 2215"] You can have done what you'd like, but you'll have to make sure with the smith that the reamer he will use to set the chamber back has a throat shorter than what you would like so it can be individually throated to match your dummy round. If you get the action and bolt trued at the same time, most good blueprint jobs single point re-cut the threads to make them true with the centerline of the action. This will make them oversized and fit very sloppy on the original barrel threads, plus you can't say for sure that the original barrel threads or chamber were cut straight with the bore. Your best bet if barrel contour allows would be to cut off the existing threads and move everything forward approx 1". This way you can blueprint the action and have a straight thread and chamber with the correct throat length you'd like. Yes, you could also change this to a 7mm WSM but the same thing applies to cutting off the existing threads and moving everything forward approx 1". [/QUOTE]
