I have a model111 in 300 winmag and I’m interested in swapping the barrel to 6.5cr.
Is this a possibility ? Is it feasible ?

^^^^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^^
The creedmoor was designed for a short action but many a short action cartridges have been used with long actions.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Built my Creedmoor on an older stagger feed long action that was originally 25-06. Creedmoor rounds feed nicely from the magazine.
