[QUOTE="asd9055, post: 2580751, member: 73445"] Yes, going from a 7mm WBY to a .300WBY its not problem. Only barrel. If I were you I would try and get the epoxy out, give the rifle a good cleaning with a carbon and copper removers. I would check the twist of my barrel, And shoot again with the right ammunition. Depending on how old it is, it might have a slower twist. [B]Question I asked before[/B] and I am asking again, is very important. The early German rifles had the safety on the tang, (triger was made of "pot" metal). If your is one of these and never upgraded, it would need to go to Weatherby and it would be expensive. (I have one of these orginal, keeping it as is and don't shoot it) In any case I would give Weatherby a call. Finally, back to rebarrel, I would find a gunsmith that works on Weatherbys. 7mm WBY or 300 WBY, that would be a personal choice, just select a faster twise to handle the new choices in bullets.
