Rebarrel 300 WSM to 300 RSAUM ??

[AL1]

off hand do any of you know if a 300 SAUM will clean up a factory 700 300 WSM chamber by setting the barrel back a couple threads?

chamber prints look close, just wanted to double check before jumping into it.

AL1,

chamber prints look close,

Close doesn't count in gunsmithing. Look at the numbers again.

You are trying to put a smaller, shorter chamber in a barrel which has a larger, longer chamber and a steeper neck angle.

'A couple of threads' won't get it done properly. Cut the whole tenon off and start with most of a fresh barrel. However, with this being a factory barrel, I'd stop here while we're just discussing it and look for a new barrel. There is no sense in my opinion to waste the money trying this at all with a factory barrel.

Get a new barrel and find a good gunsmith to handle the project and get a properly chambered new barrel.

Regards.
