Ruger american rechamber

Just picked up one of the ruger americans in 243 win to play with the other day and after getting to tinker with it decided may just rechamber to 6 br for a fun truck gun. Loaded the mag with br rounds and cycled the action, appears to function perfectly with the short little round. What pitfalls would I need to look out for if I rechamber? Would I need to get rid of the whole 243 chamber or just enough so the br reamer would create its own neck ahead of the factory neck?
 
Find a BR chamber drawing (available online from SAAMMI) and see for yourself. Or, look in a reloading manual that has the 6BR cartridge and find out for yourself. It is not rocket science...
