I have a medium Palma 6.5x47 Lapua barrel with 1,500rds through it. It has only been chambered once and it fits with my Defiance Deviant. I’d really like to reuse the barrel since I don’t shoot that caliber anymore. Is it possible to rechamber the barrel for 6.5PRC? I’m thinking it is but I’m not a barrel maker or gunsmith. I mean could it be as simple as cutting the barrel threads off square, rechambering the barrel, and then cutting a new barrel thread? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Yes, but you never get 100% of life back. Generally not worth it.

If you've already got 1500 rounds on that barrel, there isn't going to be much left if running a PRC.
You're better off spending some coin and buying a new barrel.
