Can a .223 be rechambered into a .223 Super Short Magnum? Just sitting here thinking about it.

Even if could be rechambered, which I don't think would work since the short mag probably won't clean up the chamber, the pressure of the wssm and specifically, related back thrust, is likely too much for the underlug at 64kpsi or so.
