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?

The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
