Gunsmithing Rechamber 6.5x47 to 6.5 Creedmoor?

[HTX_17]

I’ve got a 6.5x47 Lapua barrel that I’m thinking about having rechambered given the factory ammo offerings. Can any competent gunsmith do this? Is there a downside to rechambering? Would it be better performance wise to have a Creedmoor barrel spun up?

What say the hide?

You sure can. Cut the tenon off, re-chamber and cut tenon for action.

The thing is, how many rounds through barrel, cost to do this is typically.same cost to chamber a nee barrel. Only you can answer is it worth it....
