can I use 308 boltface for a 300 WSM

I have a Rem 700 action and want to rebarrel,
can I use this action for a 300 WSM or is the boltface to small?

The head on the WSM is .535 vs. .473 for the 308. You can open it along with the other required changes.

As usual just my $.02

It would be much cheaper to trade your 308 for WSM or a SAUM.
