    Been done as well as plenty of other bore sizes, custom on a weak very old action just doesnt make sense.

    reloading wise for this 7mm FEH, would you be able to get away with a 22-250 body die and then larger bushings in a neck die ?

    sounds like something that might fix the only issue i have with the 7-08, mag length...

    With lapua brass and 120g ballistic tips it might be a 3000fps capable chambering
