can you SAFELY shoot short action bullets

[sthrnfryedyankee]

out of a long action rifle? I found a 300 WSM heavy barrel that I might like to replace my 7mm rem mag barrel with and shoot the 300 wsm. They both appear to have the same bolt face diameter according to this website

but can it be safely done?
