Can you re-barrel a 7 mm Rem mag to 257 Weatherby.

I realize the 257 case head is .002 smaller than the 7 Mag

Just wondering

Thx

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

You do know that .002 is half the thickness of a hair.

Well - just making sure - but thanks very much - I did get a giggle out of the response.

I've just not ever done a re-barrel and didn't know how close tolerances needed to be
