IIRC the 7mm Dakota has a unique sized case head. It is not the same as our belted magnums.
You might be stuck with Dakota cartridges. I might be wrong on this but would look into it and consider this in making a decision.
Edited: Oops my bad. Same rim diameter as the 404 Jeffrey. .545.
Not enough details really. How heavy a barrel do you presently have? Heavy enough to rebore to 404? That's a jump.
How about a 330 Dakota?
