As I read it, he would like to shorten the neck and keep the same amount of freebore, which will require re-grinding the neck and the throat. Yes, it can be and is done. If he only shortens the neck, there will be a longer area in front of the chamber, so the throat would need to be re-ground also, if he wants to maintain the same amount of freebore. As Randy stated, a short case in a long chamber yields a freebore area that is neck diameter, as opposed to generically, bullet diameter. I would consider that to be substantially less than ideal.
stool, understand or not this is the answer to your question
