[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 691734, member: 20047"] No, Rechambering would require you to choose a cartridge that uses same diameter. yours is currently drilled .277. To make your .270 a 30-06 you will need to buy a .308 drilled and rifled barrel. But Your correct that your bolt face and action are the same. The brass can be used to neck up to .308 but may need trimmed. Your choice using the same barrel are set back and clean up the throat. If Smith feels there is enough barrel to do thins with. You could create your own wildcat maybe otherwise your left with .270 wsm and weatheryby and both would require a new bolt due to case head diameter. Some of the more experienced gun builders can add clarity or correction but I think this to be correct. [/QUOTE]
