Hi,
Do a web search for "steve's pages" and look at the cartridge drawings for the 280 Rem and 7 dakota. I just glanced at the drawings for these two cartridges and the shoulder and OAL for the 7 dakota are shorter than the 280 Rem which means you would need to set back the barrel to do this rechamber, which is not so easy on a break action gun. I didn't look up the pressure for the 7 dakota but but it has a larger case head than the 280 rem so breech thrust would be something else to consider. Also, if you click on the banner for 4D reamer rentals you can send Fred a message and ask his thoughts on this rechamber. Fred is very good about responding to our questions.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
