300 WSM

[fcsurvivor]

After rebarreling a 10FP from .308 to 6.5 Creedmore for a customer, I ended up with the .308 barrel from the 10FP. According to the customer (and from the looks of the bore scope) it has a very low round count.
So here is what I got to thinking. It looks as though it could be rechambered to .300 WSM. From the specs I have looked up, the WSM will give 2850fps with a 210 VLD. I have a Stevens 200 short action that I was going to use for another project, but the .300 WSM thing has really got me thinking.
So what do you all think of this idea?

Need or want makes no difference, so go for it. Send pictures of the rifle and the groups. Inquiring minds want to know. ::)

Any idea of the velocity that you are getting with the 230's?
