I am curious could you do the following to barrels that had already been chambered.
25/06 punched to 257 Wby?
270 Win to 270 Wby?
270 WSM to 270 Wby?
Thx

.270 to .270 Wby--definitely. I have a pre-64 Model 70 that I had done. Shoots really well and looks stock other than the new stamping on the barrel.

Thx-that would have to mean that the 25/06 to 257 Wby would be fine as well, I kind of thought those two would work.
I wonder about a 270 WSM to a Wby?
Thx

I can't imagine the WSM action would be long enough...but I think you're you're talking about takeoff barrels, so the question come down to case diameter maybe?
The 270 wsm looks to be a fatter case, so I'd say no. Maybe with a MAJOR barrel set back but even then I think you'd be to far into the tube.
But I'm one of the newer ones in this custom stuff and by no means a gunsmith.

The 270 Weatherby is to narrow in the body just in front of the belt to clean up the 270WSM chamber.

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
